Blue Jays' Patrick Corbin: Shines during no-decision
Rotowire
Corbin did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Brewers, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six over 5.2 innings.
Corbin turned in a strong bounce-back outing, after allowing four runs in four innings in his season debut. The lone run came in the fourth on a sacrifice fly following back-to-back hits, but the left-hander settled in from there and held Milwaukee hitless the rest of the way. With Trey Yesavage nearing a return to the rotation, Corbin's performance came at an important time, strengthening his case to remain in Toronto's starting mix moving forward.
Blue Jays' Patrick Corbin: Another start awaits Thursday
Rotowire
Corbin is slated to start Thursday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Though he was a free agent all offseason until signing with the Blue Jays on April 3, Corbin had been staying on top of his throwing program while awaiting an opportunity. He needed just one four-inning appearance in the minors at Single-A Dunedin before the Blue Jays were comfortable calling him up last Friday to aid an injury-plagued rotation. The Twins roughed Corbin up for four runs on six hits and one walk over four innings in his Toronto debut, but the veteran lefty will receive a second turn through the rotation while the Blue Jays wait for Trey Yesavage (shoulder) to return from the injured list. Yesavage threw 52 pitches last Thursday in his second rehab appearance for Dunedin and will make at least one more start in the minors before potentially being activated.

Blue Jays' Patrick Corbin: No-decision in 2026 debut
Rotowire
Corbin did not factor into the decision in the Blue Jays' 10-4 win over the Twins on Friday. He allowed four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three across four innings.
Corbin signed with the Blue Jays on April 3 to give the team depth in the rotation due to the absences of Shane Bieber (elbow), Trey Yesavage (shoulder), Jose Berrios (elbow) and, most recently, Cody Ponce (knee). It wasn't the kind of season debut Corbin was hoping for, as he gave up a three-run homer to Ryan Jeffers in the first inning before yielding a solo shot to Brooks Lee in the fourth, but Corbin escaped with the no-decision after the Blue Jays took the lead with five runs in the bottom of the frame. Yesavage and Berrios are inching their way toward being activated from the IL, but Corbin should continue to serve as Toronto's fifth starter in the rotation in the short term. Corbin is tentatively slated to start next week on the road against the Brewers.
Blue Jays' Patrick Corbin: Promoted, set to start Friday
Rotowire
The Blue Jays recalled Corbin from Single-A Dunedin on Tuesday, and manager John Schneider said the left-hander is tentatively lined up to start Friday against the Twins, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Corbin inked a one-year deal with Toronto last week and immediately made a start with Dunedin on Saturday, when he allowed one unearned run with nine strikeouts over five innings. The 36-year-old will return to the majors for his next start and will have a favorable matchup versus a rebuilding Minnesota team. Corbin covered 155.1 innings for the Rangers last year and had a 4.40 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 131:50 K:BB.

Blue Jays' Patrick Corbin: Signs with Toronto
Rotowire
The Blue Jays signed Corbin to a one-year contract and optioned him to Single-A Dunedin on Friday.
Toronto, already without Shane Bieber (elbow), Trey Yesavage (shoulder) and Jose Berrios (elbow) to begin the 2026 season, just lost Cody Ponce (knee) for an extended period of time this week. Corbin will help replenish the team's starting depth and could be a candidate for the fifth spot in the rotation once he's fully stretched out in the minors, although Yesavage and Berrios could both be ready to go before then. The veteran southpaw put up a 4.40 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 131:51 K:BB in 155.1 innings spanning 31 appearances (30 starts) with the Rangers last season.
Corbin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 9-8 extra-inning loss, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out five.
The veteran southpaw kept the Cleveland lineup relatively in check during this 90-pitch outing, as he didn't concede an extra-base knock. Corbin gave up two runs on a Johnathan Rodriguez single in the first before being tagged with another run on a Bo Naylor sacrifice fly in the third. The 37-year-old concludes his season with a 4.40 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 131:51 K:BB across 155.1 total frames.

Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Short start Tuesday
Rotowire
Corbin (7-11) took the loss Tuesday against the Twins, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two in 3.2 innings.
Corbin got through two innings unscathed, but the Twins were able to get to him in the third with two runs on four hits. Corbin's day was done at 65 pitches after a walk in the fourth and he's now failed to reach five innings in four of his last seven starts. The Rangers have officially fallen out of playoff contention and presumably will roll Corbin out once more this weekend for a start against the red-hot Guardians. Corbin's now at a 4.34 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 126:49 K:BB in 151.1 innings.

Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Inefficient in no-decision
Rotowire
Corbin came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets, allowing one unearned run on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out five.
The veteran lefty did generate 16 swinging strikes among his 85 pitches (52 total strikes), but Corbin got the hook in the fifth inning after a Cody Freeman throwing error helped bring home the game's first run. Corbin's failed to last five innings in five of eight starts since the beginning of August, laboring to a 5.59 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB over 37 innings during that stretch. With Tyler Mahle (shoulder) closing in on his return from the IL and Jacob Latz pitching well of late, the Rangers' rotation plans are a little murky, but if Corbin remains on schedule he'll take the mound at home next weekend against the Marlins.

Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Falls short of quality start
Rotowire
Corbin didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Houston, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with five strikeouts across 5.2 innings.
Corbin fell one out short of his second quality start in his last 11 appearances, getting pulled with two outs in the fifth inning after 82 pitches. The left-hander has been volatile recently, having allowed four or more runs in three of his last five starts, including Sunday's outing. He threw eight shutout innings against the Angels in the other start. He'll take a 4.36 ERA into his next start, which is slated to come against the Mets.

Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Yields three homers in no-decision
Rotowire
Corbin allowed five runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Corbin gave up three solo home runs over the first two innings. He hadn't allowed multiple homers in a start since May 25 versus the White Sox, though he has now given up seven long balls over his last six starts. Corbin posted a 7.17 ERA over 21.1 innings in August and is off to a similarly rough beginning in September. For the season, he's at a 4.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 114:44 K:BB through 136.2 innings over 26 starts. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Astros this weekend.
Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Twirls eight brilliant innings
Rotowire
Corbin (7-9) earned the win Tuesday against the Angels, allowing three hits and one walk in eight shutout innings. He struck out eight.
On a day when the Rangers learned that ace Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) is unlikely to return this season, Corbin delivered arguably his finest performance of the year. The veteran southpaw matched a season high in innings, fell one punchout shy of his season best and tied a season low in hits allowed while logging his first scoreless start of at least six frames on the campaign. Corbin will carry a 4.33 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 109:43 K:BB over 131 innings into his next scheduled start, which is set to be a tough matchup against an Arizona club with an .830 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the beginning of August.

Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Struggles in no-decision
Rotowire
Corbin did not factor into the decision in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Royals, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.
Corbin's struggles continued Thursday -- the left-hander has failed to make it through five innings in any of his last four starts, posting an 11.48 ERA in that span (13.1 innings). Overall, the 36-year-old Corbin sports a 4.61 ERA with a 1.41 WHIP and 101:42 K:BB across 24 starts (123 innings) this season. He'll look to get back on track in his next outing, currently slated for next week at home against the Angels.
Corbin (6-9) took the loss Saturday, coughing up seven runs on eight hits and two walks over 2.1 innings in a 14-2 rout at the hands of the Blue Jays. He struck out two.
The veteran lefty held Toronto off the board in the first inning, but a six-run second by the home squad quickly took the suspense out of the game. It was Corbin's shortest and worst start of the season, and while it was the first time since June 23 he's been tagged for more than three earned runs, he appears to be fading -- he's failed to last five innings in three straight trips to the mound. Corbin will take a 4.45 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 99:40 K:BB through 119.1 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Kansas City.

Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Saddled with eighth loss
Rotowire
Corbin (6-8) took the loss Sunday against Philadelphia, conceding three runs on four hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out one.
The veteran southpaw was pulled relatively early for the second straight start at 78 pitches, after he was yanked following a three-inning, 72-pitch outing against the Yankees on Monday. Corbin pitched relatively well in this contest, inducing 11 whiffs, but couldn't make it through the fifth after allowing four of the first five batters in that frame to reach base. Through 117 total innings, the 36-year-old owns a 4.00 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 97:38 K:BB but could be facing difficulty notching wins and quality starts if he continues to see quick hooks. Corbin lines up for another difficult test in his next start, currently scheduled to be at Toronto next weekend.
