Patrick Corbin gives up five in loss to Rangers

Patrick Corbin

TOR Starting Pitcher #46

Player Stats

Patrick Corbin allowed seven hits and five runs with one walk and five strikeouts across 4 1/3 innings in a loss to the Rangers on Friday.

Corbin didn’t have it from the get-go. The Rangers jumped on him for three runs in the first inning and he had to dance out of trouble or else it would’ve been worse. It took him 34 pitches just to get through that frame and then Justin Foscue took him deep for a two-run shot in the third. He held on until the fifth, but was pulled before facing some of the Rangers’ righties for a third time. On the season, he has a 5.09 ERA and is scheduled to face the Mets at home next time out.

Spencer Miles

TOR Relief Pitcher #62

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Spencer Miles tossed three shutout innings with five strikeouts, one walk, and allowed one hit on his way to the win against the Mets on Wednesday.

Miles was very impressive here despite only going three innings on 46 pitches. Both his fastball and sinker sat between 97 and 98 mph and the latter flashed some impressive movement. His curveball flashed too and he was willing to throw it against hitters from both sides of the plate. There was enough here to make us think about adding him in very deep leagues. Otherwise, Patrick Corbin followed him as more of a bulk reliever going five innings, allowing three runs, and earning the save. With a 5.11 ERA, he should not be on our radar.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters Patrick Corbin has been moved to the bullpen.

Schneider told reporters it’ll likely be rookie Spencer Miles getting the ball for a bullpen game in place of Corbin, who was originally scheduled to start Wednesday’s series finale against the Mets. The 36-year-old veteran has pitched to a cromulent 5.09 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 52/24 K/BB ratio across 69 innings over 15 starts this season. His rotation spot will likely go to Max Scherzer (back) once he’s ready to come off the injured list in a few weeks.

TOR Starting Pitcher #46

Patrick Corbin allowed three runs and struck out four batters over 3 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Saturday.

Corbin tossed a scoreless first inning, then allowed the first two batters to reach in the second for Matt Shaw, who took Corbin deep for a three-run blast to put the Cubs on the board. He labored through the next two innings and left the bases loaded with two outs in the fourth at 101 pitches, only 57 for strikes. He scattered six hits and three walks in all while striking out four. The 36-year-old left-hander will take a 4.73 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and a 47/23 K/BB ratio across 64 2/3 innings into a start against the Rangers in Toronto on Thursday.

TOR Starting Pitcher #46

Patrick Corbin received a no-decision on Sunday against the Yankees, allowing two earned run on seven hits over 3 2/3 innings.

Corbin struck out three and didn’t walk anyone. The Blue Jays have dealt with several pitching injuries this season, forcing them to rely on the veteran southpaw for innings. Max Scherzer recently returned from the IL, and Shane Bieber could be back shortly too, so it remains to be seen what happens with the rotation. Corbin’s next scheduled outing comes against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Patrick Corbin

TOR Starting Pitcher #46

Patrick Corbin gave up five runs over three innings on Monday in a loss to the Phillies.

Corbin gave up four hits, including a two-run homer to Adolis García as he allowed four runs for the second consecutive start. The interesting wrinkle here is that Simeon Woods-Richardson tossed four scoreless innings out of the bullpen in his Toronto debut, which could set up a potential piggyback situation moving forward. Corbin is not a recommended fantasy option when he faces the Yankees on Sunday.
Patrick Corbin

TOR Starting Pitcher #46

Patrick Corbin allowed six hits and four runs with one walk and two strikeouts over five innings in a loss to the Braves on Wednesday.

Corbin was done in by a three-run home run from Mauricio Dubón in the third inning. His outing was fairly clean otherwise, but he still isn’t missing enough bats and allowing too much hard contact to genuinely be trusted. He currently has a 3.98 ERA with 37 strikeouts and 16 walks across 54 1/3 innings on the season as a remarkably important plug-and-play starter in the Blue Jays’ rotation. Next up is a horrifying two-start week against the Phillies and Yankees with both starts coming at home.

TOR Starting Pitcher #46

Patrick Corbin pitched well in a no-decision against the Orioles on Thursday evening, surrendering just one run on four hits over five innings.

Corbin struck out four batters on the night while issuing one free pass. He served up a solo homer to Coby Mayo in the fourth inning but was able to keep the Orioles’ offense at bay otherwise. Unfortunately, his offense couldn’t generate more than one run of support for him while he was in the game. Corbin got six whiffs on 80 pitches in the game, posting a CSW of 24 percent. Now 3-1 on the season, he’ll bring a respectable 3.65 ERA and 1.36 WHIP into Wednesday’s matchup against the Braves in Atlanta.

TOR Starting Pitcher #46

Patrick Corbin limited the Pirates to one run in six innings and fanned seven in Saturday’s win.

Just as everyone expected, Corbin had five more strikeouts and eight more whiffs (15-7) than Paul Skenes today. Corbin did give up 10 hard-hit balls, including the three hardest of the game, but all those hard-hit balls produced was four singles and a double. He also walked none. Corbin is 2-1 with a 3.89 ERA in his nine starts. His strikeout rate is just 17 percent overall and he’s also sporting a career-low groundball rate for the second straight season, so he’s still not worth much attention in fantasy circles. He’ll pitch in Baltimore next week.

TOR Starting Pitcher #46

Patrick Corbin allowed three runs in four innings and got a no-decision against the Yankees on Monday.

Corbin gave up six hits, walked three and struck out three. The 36-year-old left-hander lost two battles to Paul Goldschmidt that decided his outing. Goldschmidt hit a leadoff home run to start the scoring for the Yankees, then capped a rally in the fourth inning with a game-tying double. Corbin is regularly failing to complete five innings and has a 4.23 ERA, which makes him unusable outside of AL-only leagues. He’ll face the Pirates at home this weekend.

Patrick Corbin allowed three runs in 4 1/3 innings and got a no-decision against the Rays on Tuesday.

Corbin gave up nine hits, walked one and struck out one. The 36-year-old left-hander allowed a double to Ryan Vilade to start the fifth inning, got the next batter and then was removed from the ballgame. Corbin has a 3.93 ERA entering his next start against the Tigers on Sunday.

Royals signed RHP Scott Barlow to a minor-league contract.

Barlow carried a 6.48 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 33 1/3 innings with the Athletics this year. The Royals pen has been rough enough that we suppose anything is on the table eventually for Barlow, but the 33-year-old wouldn’t seem to have an easy path to a roster spot just yet.

Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said the team could activate Patrick Sandoval (elbow/biceps) if he feels good coming off his rehab start on Saturday.

After sending Early Connelly to the IL, the Red Sox won’t need a fifth starter until July 11, so this may only wind up being a one-game trial for whoever gets the elevation. Tracy said the team would choose either Sandoval or Brayan Bello. That said, the context of Sandoval nearing the end of his 30-day rehab window for players on the IL sure makes it seem like Sandoval will be the first choice if he escapes his Saturday start feeling well.

Jeffers is reportedly getting close to a rehab assignment. His return will be one to monitor even in shallow leagues, as Jeffers was hitting .295/.408/.541 before going down with the injury in late May.

Mets selected the contract of Jefry Yan from Triple-A Syracuse; optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

Yan has a 3.78 ERA between two levels with the Mets this year, with an astonishing 63 strikeouts in just 33 1/3 innings. He still has no control (24 walks accompany the strikeouts) but it’s possible the Mets give him a shake in the bottom of pen mix at some point this summer.

Hunter Goodman is not in Colorado’s starting lineup against the Marlins on Thursday.

After three straight days catching, Goodman will take his first breather since June 21. Brett Sullivan is getting a start for the Rockies while Willi Castro bats cleanup. Goodman is hitting .243/.306/.547 with 27 homers in just 340 plate appearances so far this year — the double/homer distribution has been skewed in favor of homers so far this year, much to the delight of fantasy managers.

Liam Hendriks threw a scoreless inning for Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, striking out two.

Hendriks made his debut for the Cubs after signing a minor league deal with them on May 13th. The 37-year-old sat 94.2 mph on his four-seam fastball and got five whiffs on eight total swings, mostly with his slider. Fastball command and velocity will be crucial for Hendriks if he wants to pitch meaningful innings in the Cubs’ bullpen.

Konnor Griffin is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Phillies

The Pirates are just being cautious with their star in his return from a forearm strain. Griffin returned last Friday and will now have sat in two of the team’s seven games since then. We would expect them to go back to playing him nearly every day after the All-Star break. On Thursday, Jared Triolo will bat ninth and play shortstop, and Jake Mangum will move into Griffin’s spot at the top of the order.
