Corbin got the start in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, allowing one run on one hit and two walks over two innings with one strikeout, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Nats have taken it very easy with most of their key arms to begin the spring, and Corbin was the last of the established starters to make his debut. Expect the southpaw to remain on a regular schedule from here on out, with plenty of time for him to get stretched out before Opening Day.

Corbin will start Game 4 of the World Series against the Astros on Saturday, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin was initially scheduled to start Game 3 of the World Series but was deemed not ready after entering in relief during Game 1 on Tuesday. However, the 30-year-old wasn't needed in the team's 12-3 victory Wednesday, making him available for Saturday's game. The southpaw has recorded a 6.91 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 14.1 innings pitched over the postseason.

Corbin will not start in Game 3 of the World Series against the Astros on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Martinez announced that Anibal Sanchez would start the third game of the series after Corbin threw 21 pitches in relief during Game 1. After playing catch Wednesday, Martinez said the team will see how Corbin feels, with the possibility of pitching in relief again Wednesday during Game 2, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports. The 30-year-old could start in Game 4, but Martinez was noncommittal about the starter for Saturday's game and expressed confidence in how Corbin has performed out of the bullpen.

Corbin could still start Game 3 of the World Series against the Astros on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Corbin was initially named the starter for Game 3, his status became uncertain after throwing 21 pitches over one inning of relief work Tuesday during Game 1. However, the 30-year-old was playing catch Wednesday prior to Game 2 and is likely still in play to start Friday's game at Nationals Park. The southpaw allowed one hit while recording two strikeouts in his one inning pitched Tuesday.

Corbin (1-0) gave up four earned runs on four hits and three walks with 12 strikeouts over five innings in Tuesday's 7-4 win over St. Louis in Game 4 of the NLCS.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty was simply dominant through the first four innings, recording 10 of the first 12 outs via strikeout and giving up just a Yadier Molina solo homer in the fourth. Corbin finally ran into trouble in the fifth and gave up three more runs before fanning Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna to end the inning and turn things over to the bullpen. The Cardinals will face either the Yankees or Astros in the World Series, where Corbin will presumably start Game 3.

Corbin will start Game 4 of the NLCS against the Cardinals on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old pitched Game 1 of the NLDS against the Dodgers, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and five walks while recording nine strikeouts over six innings pitched. Corbin recorded a 14-7 record with a 3.25 ERA over the regular season. The southpaw's availability could be limited later in the series if necessary, especially with Max Scherzer pitching Game 2 and Stephen Strasburg starting Game 3, which would give them more rest.

Corbin was charged with two runs (one earned) on three hits over six innings in a loss to the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLDS on Thursday. He struck out nine and walked five.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander was wild early, walking four of the first six batters he faced, including Max Muncy with the bases loaded. He eventually settled in, but Washington's bats couldn't get anything going against Walker Buehler and company on the other side, so Corbin was saddled with the loss. This may be the last we see of Corbin in 2019, unless the Nationals are able to force a Game 5.

Corbin will start Game 1 of the NLDS on Thursday against the Dodgers, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg combined to cover eight innings during Tuesday's Wild Card victory over the Brewers, leaving Corbin to open the series in Los Angeles. The left-hander finished the regular season with a 3.25 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 238:70 K:BB over 202 innings.

Corbin allowed six runs on seven hits with two walks and eight strikeouts across 4.1 innings during a no-decision against the Indians on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
This was supposed to be just a short tune-up outing, but Corbin ended up throwing 94 pitches. He racked up eight punchouts for the fifth time in his last seven outings, but Corbin missed an opportunity at his 15th win, which he would have earned had he recorded two more outs. He finishes the regular season 14-7 with a 3.25 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 238 strikeouts in 202 innings.

Corbin is expected to have his start Saturday against Cleveland shortened so that he can be available out of the bullpen for Tuesday's wild-card game, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Nationals want all hands on deck to help them qualify for the divisional round, and that includes Corbin, who would be pitching on just two days' rest if called upon Tuesday. It's unclear exactly how long he's expected to go in Saturday's game.
