Corbin's average fastball velocity has sat between 89-to-90 miles per hour over his last two outings and dropped to 87-to-88 mph range during the final inning of his start Wednesday against the Dodgers, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a 1.64 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 11 frames over the past two starts, Corbin's results haven't indicated any obvious decline, but Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo admitted that the lefty's command hasn't been as sharp of late. That's been especially apparent when Corbin throws his best pitch (the slider), as he's generated swing and misses on the offering 16 percent of the time in May after drawing whiffs at a nearly 33 percent clip over his first six starts. in addition to his slider finding the dirt more than usual, Corbin's fastball velocity readings bring additional cause for concern. Though Corbin has never thrown major heat, the fact that he hasn't thrown a pitch over 92 mph his past two times out after averaging nearly 93 mph prior to that has given him less margin for error when he works in the zone. While the 28-year-old insists he's healthy and expects his velocity and command to rebound, fantasy owners may nonetheless want to consider shopping him to guard against the bottom falling out completely.

Corbin allowed one run on three hits and four walks with seven strikeouts through five innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin held opponents under two runs scored for the fourth time in eight starts, and he still hasn't allowed more than three runs all season long. That said, Corbin was wild Wednesday, as he needed 96 pitches to get through five innings, and just 50 of those were strikes. He threw just eight of his 27 sliders for strikes, five of which were swinging -- only three were actually in the strike zone, per Brooks Baseball. Wednesday's start from Corbin was essentially the definition of effectively wild. Still, it was effective, and Corbin will carry a 2.12 ERA into Monday's start against the Brewers.

Corbin allowed one earned run on three hits while walking two and striking out five across six innings Thursday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin left the game in line for the win after another solid six-inning outing, but the Diamondbacks' bullpen failed to maintain the lead. He didn't have his strikeout pitch working as has been the case in his previous starts, recording a season-low 10 swinging strikes. However, through seven starts has has posted 11.74 K/9 and a 50 percent groundball rate to back up his 2.15 ERA. He has been a breakout performer at the position in the early going and his strong peripheral stats indicate his results have been earned.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Corbin is "feeling fine" after he took a groundball off the ring finger on his left (throwing) hand during an outing Saturday against the Nationals, Matt Kelly of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin said his hand went numb for a moment after the play, but after consulting with team trainers and tossing a few warmup pitches, the lefty was allowed to remain in the game. He ended up taking a no-decision in the contest, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven over 6.2 innings. Unless the finger provides some unexpected complications over the next few days, Corbin will make his next start in Thursday's series finale against the Dodgers, opposing Alex Wood in that game.

Corbin (4-0) allowed two runs on two hits and one walk and struck out 11 as he picked up the win Sunday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin has been magnificent through five starts this season, sporting a 1.89 ERA and 0.66 WHIP. He's also been a strikeout machine, racking up 48 punch outs across 33.1 innings. The 28-year-old left-hander will face another tough test in his next start, which figures to come Saturday against the Nationals.

Corbin (3-0) was absolutely brilliant against the Giants on Tuesday, throwing a complete game one-hit shutout, striking out eight and walking one in Arizona's 1-0 victory over San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

It truly was a performance for the ages for the 28-year-old left-hander, who narrowly missed out on a no-hitter after an infield single by Brandon Belt broke up his bid for history in the eighth inning. It was the continuation of what has been a ballistic start to the season for Corbin, who now has a 1.65 ERA, a 0.70 WHIP and a 37:5 K:BB in 27.1 innings. Injuries have prevented Corbin from ever consistently reaching his lofty potential, but so far in 2018, he has the look of a pitcher who is fully healthy and primed to make the most of his talent. He'll look to continue his torrid start in an inviting matchup against the Padres on Sunday.

Corbin got a no-decision, allowing three earned runs on five hits, striking out nine and walking two over 5.1 innings as Arizona fell to the Giants 5-4 on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin is off to a fantastic start, with his outing against the Giants leaving him with a 2.45 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP through 18.1 innings. Believe it or not, he also leads the league with 29 strikeouts against just four walks. He's absolutely rolling right now and while it's possible (perhaps even likely) that he'll regress back towards his career ERA of 4.07 eventually, he's providing the type of value at the moment that needs to be capitalized on for as long as he's providing it.

Corbin (2-0) tossed 7.1 shutout innings and allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out 12 to earn the victory Wednesday over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin was utterly brilliant against one of the National League's best offenses. Dodgers hitters whiffed at 21 of Corbin's 98 pitches and didn't put a runner on base until Matt Kemp's double in the fifth inning. Corbin was hyped as a potential ace before injuries derailed his career five years ago. It's only been two starts, but thus far in 2018, he's finally looking like that guy again.

Corbin (1-0) gave up two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out eight over 5.2 innings in a win over the Rockies on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

His outing was bookended by a pair of homers allowed -- DJ LeMahieu in the first and Nolan Arenado in the sixth -- but in between, Corbin was very good. The eight strikeouts were more than he had in his first three starts combined last year (seven). It's just one game, but this was an encouraging performance from a player who was going outside of the top 200 on average during draft season.

Corbin will start for the Diamondbacks on Opening Day against the Rockies, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Zack Greinke dealing with a groin injury and Robbie Ray off schedule, the Diamondbacks will turn to Corbin to start the first game of the season. The 28-year-old posted a 4.03 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 178:61 K:BB across 189.2 innings (32 starts, one relief appearance) in 2017. He will be followed by Ray and Greinke, respectively.
