2024 Fantasy Outlook
Corbin has made at least 31 starts in each of his four full seasons with the Nationals, which does hold some value for a team which has spent much of that stretch in a rebuilding phase. Unfortunately, the results were awful again in 2023, with the left-hander's 5.20 ERA and 1.48 WHIP ranking 42nd and 44th, respectively, among 44 qualifiers. Corbin had a 30.8 percent strikeout rate in his final season with the Diamondbacks, which is a large reason why the Nationals gave him $140 million. In 2023 that number tumbled to 15.7 percent, which also ranked dead last among qualifiers. Corbin has averaged 32.3 home runs allowed per season over the last three years, and his slider, which used to be one of the better pitches in baseball, had a .354 xWOBA last year. The southpaw is mercifully entering his walk year in 2024, which means the Nats might not even feel obligated to keep him in the rotation all season if things continue to go this poorly. Read Past Outlooks
Strikes out six in win
Corbin (6-13) earned the win against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with six strikeouts over six innings.
ANALYSIS
Corbin tossed three 1-2-3 innings and allowed just one extra-base hit while generating 11 whiffs on 94 pitches. While he endured a seven-run disaster last Sunday, the southpaw has yielded two earned runs or fewer in four of his past five outings with three quality starts. On the season, he owns a 5.45 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 132:52 K:BB across 165 innings and lines up to face the Cubs next week.

Corbin's 6.31 ERA was by far the highest among pitchers throwing at least 150 innings. However, his 4.21 xFIP was only 10th highest as he was victimized by a .365 BABIP and 64.4% LOB mark. Corbin's 11.1% K-BB% mark was also subpar as his swinging strike rate dropped below 10% for the first time since 2016. Corbin's once vaunted slider isn't nearly as effective, which in turn takes away from his other offerings. Normally, it's sage to target pitchers coming off an unlucky season, but even after correcting for misfortune, Corbin is a below average hurler with a pedestrian strikeout rate. Team context is also poor with Nationals Park favoring hitters and a weak lineup limiting run support. The only box Corbin checks is durability with five straight full seasons of at least 31 starts. Perhaps he can be helpful in points leagues, but in roto-scoring, you're better off with a dominant reliever.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could stick in rotation?
Corbin's 2.60 ERA across his past three starts could be enough to keep him in Washington's rotation even once Josiah Gray returns from his elbow injury, reports Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com.
ANALYSIS
The veteran left-hander seemed to be a sure bet to be jettisoned from Washington's rotation when Gray began his rehab assignment in early June, but Corbin has responded by allowing just five runs with a 16:5 K:BB over 17.1 frames in his past three starts. The 34-year-old's 5.46 ERA is still second worst in the majors among 72 qualified starting pitchers, but the recent improvement could grant him a longer leash in the short term, with the Nationals likely hoping to convert that success into a trade.
