Patrick Corbin was knocked around in a no-decision against the Rockies at Coors Field on Saturday, surrendering five runs on nine hits over his three innings of work.
Corbin fanned two without walking a batter in the game. As many pitchers do at Coors Field, Corbin struggled to keep the ball in the yard on Saturday, surrendering home runs to Andrew Brown and Wilin Rosario. He'll take a 6-7 record, 4.36 ERA and 80/24 K/BB ratio into San Francisco where he'll do battle against the Giants on Thursday.

Patrick Corbin pitched eight innings of two-run ball and knocked in four runs Sunday as the Diamondbacks beat the Giants 10-2.
Corbin, who had been 2-for-28 with 12 strikeouts as a major leaguer, had a bases-loaded triple and an RBI single in the contest. He was also plenty good on the mound against one of the league's hottest offenses. He struck out five and walked one in improving to 6-7 with a 4.02 ERA. A couple of more outings like this would go a long way towards getting him penciled into the 2013 rotation.

Patrick Corbin allowed four runs in five innings and struck out six in a no-decision Monday against the Giants.
All four runs scored in the first. Corbin rebounded nicely and was in line for the victory when he left, but the Diamondbacks managed to blow a 7-4 lead. Four of the five relievers they used gave up runs in what turned out to be a 9-8 loss in 10 innings.

Patrick Corbin held the Nationals to two runs on four hits in seven innings Sunday, improving to 4-4 in Arizona's 7-4 win.
The 23-year-old southpaw struck out seven and walked none in his third consecutive quality outing since joining Arizona's rotation on August 1. He's allowed just four runs on 12 hits in 19 innings of work this month. He's looking well worth a flier in mixed leagues. Corbin will get the Astros in Houston next weekend.

Patrick Corbin pitched well in a no-decision against the Pirates on Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits over six innings of work.
The young lefty racked up a career-high seven strikeouts while walking three. He pitched into quite a few jams but operated effectively in situations that required damage control. Corbin left in line to earn his fourth victory, but his bullpen was unable to protect that lead. He's now 3-4 on the season with a 3.53 ERA and 42/18 K/BB ratio over 51 innings. While Chase Field can be a difficult place to pitch, Corbin should be able to make an impact down the stretch in fantasy leagues, especially when skimmed for his road starts. He'll get the ball next Sunday at home against the Nationals.

Called up before the game, Patrick Corbin pitched scoreless ball for six innings on Wednesday and combined on a two-hitter against the Dodgers.
Brad Ziegler, David Hernandez and J.J. Putz finished the 4-0 victory, completing a three-game sweep in L.A. Corbin is 3-4 with a 3.60 ERA in six starts and five relief appearances for the Diamondbacks this season. He's well worth playing in NL-only leagues while in the rotation.

Diamondbacks recalled LHP Patrick Corbin from Triple-A Reno.
Corbin will make the start Wednesday against the Dodgers and is taking Josh Collmenter's spot in the rotation. The 23-year-old left-hander showed some promise during his first two stints in the big leagues earlier this year and should be owned in NL-only fantasy leagues.

Patrick Corbin will take Josh Collmenter's spot in the Diamondbacks' rotation.
He'll get the ball Wednesday against the Dodgers. Collmenter has fared pretty well overall in the rotation, but the D'Backs like his versatility in the pen. Corbin held a 5.73 ERA and 15/7 K/BB ratio across 22 innings earlier this season for Arizona, but he's put up nice numbers in the minors.

Diamondbacks optioned LHP Patrick Corbin to Triple-A Reno.
Corbin made five appearances with the Diamondbacks since being recalled in late-June, and figures to be back at some point this later this year, either as a reliever or starter. Joe Saunders will be activated from the disabled list to start Saturday against the Cubs.

The Diamondbacks have summoned left-hander Patrick Corbin to join the team in Atlanta.
It's not clear if he'll be used as a starter or reliever, but he's a potential replacement for Daniel Hudson (elbow) in the starting rotation. Corbin had a 5.73 ERA and 15/7 K/BB ratio over 22 innings at the big league level earlier this year.
