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.

Finally gets in win column
Corbin (1-3) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on seven hits and a walk over five innings in a 5-1 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
The veteran southpaw tossed 54 of 86 pitches before exiting with a 3-1 lead, and the Washington bullpen was able to shut down Boston the rest of the way. Corbin has begun to show faint signs of turning things around, and over his last four starts he has posted a 3.54 ERA while serving up only one homer in 20.1 innings. His 14:8 K:BB and 1.57 WHIP over that stretch aren't particularly encouraging, however. He'll try to build on this performance in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week against the White Sox.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to open in rotation
Corbin is expected to open next season as part of the Nationals' rotation, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Corbin is set to make $35 million in 2024 in the final year of his albatross of a contract. While the time to cut bait on the veteran left-hander might come eventually, Zuckerman does not expect it to happen prior to Opening Day, with the Nats in need of someone who can at least eat some innings. Corbin posted a 5.20 ERA over 32 starts for the Nats in 2023, which is actually his best ERA in three seasons by a wide margin.

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.
