Corbin (2-3) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks across seven strong innings in Tuesday's win over the Padres. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin came through with his best outing of the season in many regards, completing seven frames for the first time while registering a season high in strikeouts en route to his fourth straight quality start. He also topped the 100-pitch mark for the first time this season and appears to be nearing top form after a substandard 2016 campaign. Corbin will carry a tidy 3.10 ERA into a challenging matchup with the Rockies at home on Sunday.

Corbin (1-3) surrendered three runs on five hits over six innings to take the loss Thursday against the Padres, but struck out eight batters.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin excelled for the most part at limiting the damage from the Padres bats, but made a mistake in the bottom of the first inning, misplacing a 93 mile-per-hour fastball to Wil Myers, who clobbered the ball 431 feet for the game's first run. The 8:0 K:BB strikeout-to-walk ratio was Corbin's best of the season, and he's now covered six innings in each of his last three starts to help limit the strain of the Diamondbacks bullpen. Corbin's next start is scheduled to come Monday against these same Padres at home, so he should make for a decent streaming option once again.

Corbin (1-2) gave up five runs (three earned) on nine hits and three walks over six innings in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The damage could have been far worse for Corbin, who struggled to find the strike zone all game and gave up four extra-base hits. His ERA sits at 2.81 through three starts, but that's not exactly indicative of how he's pitched. He holds identical K/9 and BB/9 rates (3.94) and has a 4.37 FIP, suggesting that an ERA correction could soon be in order.

Corbin (1-1) allowed four hits while walking two and striking out three in his six-inning shutout win over the Indians on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It's an encouraging sign after Corbin labored through his first start of the season. The 27-year-old southpaw struggled through an awful 2016 season after returning from Tommy John surgery, so fantasy owners should expect more ups and downs as he works out the kinks. Despite the lack of strikeouts so far (four in two starts), Corbin's ability to keep the Tribe off the scoreboard is a good sign moving forward.

Corbin gave up three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a pair of walks over four innings in Tuesday's loss to the Giants. He struck out only a single batter.

EDGE Analysis

Once one of the more promising arms around, Corbin's seen his career derailed by Tommy John surgery, and he really hasn't come all the way back yet. Last season's 5.15 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 155.2 innings speak volumes about how badly the lefty struggled, and he's off to a similarly poor start this year. Poor control and hittability were huge issues for him last season, so it's disturbing that he showed both off in his first start of the new campaign.

Corbin will begin the season in the Arizona rotation with Archie Bradley moving to the bullpen, ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin and Shelby Miller won the final two spots in the rotation. Corbin has a 3.44 ERA this spring with an encouraging 17:3 K:BB in 18.1 innings.

Corbin fired five scoreless frames in his start against the Rangers on Tuesday afternoon.

EDGE Analysis

He was very sharp throughout the outing, striking out five and pounding the strike zone (56 pitches, 42 strikes). Corbin appears to have the edge in the competition for the No. 5 starter job to begin the season, especially since Archie Bradley has been inconsistent this spring. The left-hander leaned heavily on his fastball Tuesday, sitting at 91-94 mph with the pitch, an encouraging sign after his fastball velocity dipped slightly in 2016.

Corbin is currently listed one of the team's five members of the starting rotation on the D-backs' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Archie Bradley and Braden Shipley are listed behind Corbin, who may be destined for the bullpen depending on how the competition for the final two spots in the rotation plays out. Shelby Miller, who listed as the team's fourth starter, will also have to earn his spot this spring, but the most likely scenarios include Corbin moving to the bullpen and Bradley beginning the season back at Triple-A Reno if the starters atop the depth chart remain healthy between now and Opening Day.

Corbin agreed to a one-year deal with the Diamondbacks on Friday, avoiding arbitration.

EDGE Analysis

The terms of the agreement were not announced. Corbin is coming off a pretty terrible year in which he posted a 5.15 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 131:66 K:BB in 155.2 innings. He will compete with Shelby Miler, Archie Bradley and Braden Shipley for the final two spots in the big league rotation this spring.

Corbin pitched three perfect innings with four strikeouts to finish off Thursday's win over the Dodgers for his second career save.

EDGE Analysis

Indeed, Corbin did get a save back in his rookie year of 2012, but had been a starter (or injured) since. This was a nice outing and all, but it really just serves to highlight that he's now a long reliever who rarely appears in important situations.
