Player Outlook
Corbin Burnes was everything the Orioles could have hoped for when they traded for him, as he took the ball 32 times during the regular season and pitched to a 2.92 ERA, seventh lowest among qualified starters. The right-hander added eight innings of one-run ball in his lone postseason start before Baltimore was bounced by Kansas City. Burnes surprised the baseball world in December when he inked a six-year, $210 million contract with the Diamondbacks. There may be some slight yellow flags, including a 23.1 K% last season, down significantly from just a couple years ago, coinciding with a drop in whiff rate on his curveball. Burnes is now on the wrong side of 30, but throwing hard, limiting walks and racking up innings make him a rare commodity given the current pitching landscape. The underlying numbers over the past couple years point to him being more of a low-to-mid 3.00s ERA pitcher, but if the strikeouts ramp back up it would help to stave off regression.

  • Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Slots in for fifth game

    Rotowire
    Burnes is scheduled to make his first start of the regular season April 1 against the Yankees, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports. It was only a mild surprise that Zac Gallen was named the Diamondbacks' Opening Day starter for Thursday's matchup with the Cubs, but the fact that Burnes won't start until the fifth game of the season is significantly more notable. The right-hander inked a six-year, $210 million contract with Arizona in November, but the organization apparently wants to give him a few extra days after the end of camp before sending him to the mound for his team debut. Burnes was dominant in his first five spring starts before being tagged for eight runs Friday versus the Brewers while having trouble with his cutter, though there's been no indication that outing is related to his positioning in the rotation.

  • Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Roughed up Friday

    Rotowire
    Burnes allowed eight runs (seven earned) on 11 hits while striking out five over 2.2 innings in Friday's spring start against the Brewers. This outing came out of nowhere, as Burnes had breezed through his first five Cactus League starts before the Brewers knocked him around. He ran his pitch count to 75 in his spring finale. Burnes later told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that he was having trouble commanding his cutter. The right-hander should make his next start during the team's season-opening series against the Cubs, though nothing has been set beyond Opening Day starter Zac Gallen.

  • Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Fans four in Saturday's start

    Rotowire
    Burnes allowed one run on four hits and struck out four over four-plus innings in Saturday's spring start against the White Sox. He struck out the side in the first en route to retiring the first six batters he faced, and Burnes pitched into the fifth inning before being removed after 64 pitches (42 strikes) following a leadoff single. He owns a 1.35 ERA with 17 strikeouts over 13.1 spring innings. Those results -- and the contract Burnes signed during the offseason -- put him in line to start Opening Day, but Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo has yet to decide between Burnes and Zac Gallen, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. The manager said the league is after him to name a starter and he needs to get back to them, but he wants "to be as thorough as possible." Arizona is set to host the Cubs in their March 27 opener.

  • Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Throws two innings

    Rotowire
    Burnes allowed three hits and struck out three over two scoreless innings in Wednesday's spring game against Milwaukee. Burnes made his second Cactus League appearance and pushed his pitch count to 29 (20 strikes). He told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that other than a couple of breaking balls he left over the plate, he was pleased. The right-hander has struck out six over three innings thus far.

  • Corbin Burnes: Turns down qualifying offer

    Rotowire
    Burnes rejected the Orioles' $21.05 million qualifying offer Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. This was simply a formality, as Burnes is set to cash in on a big long-term deal this offseason. According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the Dodgers and Orioles are the front runners to land Burnes, so he'll surely be on a team that projects to win a lot of games with a quality defense behind him.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Named Game 1 starter

    Rotowire
    Burnes will start Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series for the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. After he turned in a 2.92 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 32 starts, the decision to send Burnes to the mound for Game 1 is a no-brainer. Baltimore still doesn't know who it will be facing to begin its playoff run, but the 2021 NL Cy Young Award winner is a safe bet to put on a strong performance in his first postseason appearance as an Oriole no matter who his opponent is.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Takes ninth loss

    Rotowire
    Burnes (15-9) allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out nine over five innings, taking the loss versus the Yankees on Thursday. The lone run he gave up was on a Giancarlo Stanton solo home run in the second inning. Burnes was lifted at 69 pitches (46 strikes), likely to keep him fresh for the Orioles' wild-card round matchup, and the Orioles' bullpen was unable to keep this game close. Burnes concludes the regular season on a high note, having allowed just five runs (four earned) while adding a 31:8 K:BB over 30 innings across five starts in September. He posted a 2.92 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 181:48 K:BB over 194.1 innings across 32 regular-season starts.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Singled into submission Thursday

    Rotowire
    Burnes (12-6) took the loss against Houston on Thursday, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings. Burnes began his outing with three scoreless frames before the Astros tagged him for two runs in the fourth. Following a 1-2-3 fifth inning, the veteran righty folded in the sixth, giving up five hits -- all singles -- to allow four runners to score. In fact, all eight of the knocks Burnes allowed in the contest were singles, so he wasn't exactly hit hard, though the right-hander gave up too much contact with just six whiffs and two punchouts. He still has a respectable 3.28 ERA on the campaign, but over his past four starts he's uncharacteristically posted an 8.71 ERA over 20.2 frames.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Earns 11th win

    Rotowire
    Burnes (11-4) earned the win Tuesday over the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out seven. Burnes has been a rock for the Orioles this season -- he's now recorded six straight quality starts and 16 in his last 17 outings. Burnes' ERA now sits at 2.47, the second-best mark in the majors, with a 1.04 WHIP and 128:33 K:BB across 22 starts (138.2 innings). The 29-year-old right-hander is currently lined up for a two-start week -- Burnes is scheduled to face the Guardians on the road this weekend.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Settles for no-decision Thursday

    Rotowire
    Burnes allowed three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five batters over 7.1 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Thursday. Burnes held the Marlins scoreless for five frames before serving up a solo homer to Josh Bell in the sixth. The veteran hurler rebounded with a scoreless seventh, but he allowed a pair of singles and got only one out in the eighth, and both baserunners came around to score. Burnes was still in line for the victory until Miami rallied to tie the game with three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and he ended up with just his second no-decision across his past 10 starts. The right-hander nonetheless recorded his fifth straight quality start and his 17th overall on the campaign, which is tied for first in the majors.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Returning to mound Thursday

    Rotowire
    Burnes will start Thursday's series finale against the Mariners on the road, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. Burnes was activated from the paternity list Monday after missing three games while with his expanding family, welcoming a pair of twins with his wife. With Dean Kremer (triceps) set to return from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Burnes will make his return to the mound Thursday. The right-hander produced a 2.12 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 28 strikeouts over 34 innings in five starts in June.

    Rotowire
    The Orioles activated Burnes (personal) from the paternity list Monday.

He's tentatively slated to make his next start Wednesday in Seattle, though that hasn't yet been confirmed.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Placed on paternity leave list

    Rotowire

The righty started Thursday's series opener and should be back in time for his next turn, which is tentatively lined up to come next week in Seattle.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Notches seventh win

    Rotowire
    Burnes (7-2) earned the win Monday against the Rays, allowing two unearned runs on five hits and one walk over seven innings. He struck out six. Burnes dazzled in the series finale, shutting down Tampa Bay to collect his ninth consecutive quality start and 11th overall. The only blemish on the 29-year-old's evening was a two-run homer yielded to Alex Jackson that drove in a pair of unearned runs. Overall, Burnes now sports a 2.08 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 82:22 K:BB in 86.2 innings while being tied for the league lead in quality starts. The Baltimore ace is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Phillies at home this weekend.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Cruises to win No. 5

    Rotowire
    Burnes (5-2) earned the win over Boston on Wednesday, allowing an unearned run on three hits and three walks while striking out five batters over seven innings. Burnes was splendid in the outing, yielding no extra-base hits and allowing zero earned runs for the second time in his past three starts. The right-hander's five strikeouts were mildly disappointing, but he did have his swing-and-miss stuff working with 16 whiffs in the contest. Burnes has completed at least six frames in seven straight starts and is tied for second in the league with nine quality starts on the campaign.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Continues to receive little support

    Rotowire
    Burnes did not factor into the decision Monday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two. Burnes did not allow an extra-base hit as a walk and two singles in the sixth led to the lone run he allowed. The two strikeouts are the fewest Burnes has recorded in a start during his career and represent the eighth consecutive start in which he's recorded six or fewer K's after opening the season with an 11-strikeout effort. While he's not been as dominant in Baltimore as he was in Milwaukee, Burnes has still been plenty effective, allowing three or fewer runs in every start this season. His next outing is tentatively slated to take place this weekend when the Blue Jays come to Camden Yards for a three-game set.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Tagged with first loss

    Rotowire

He struck out six All the damage against Burnes came in the fifth inning when Oswaldo Cabrera launched a two-run home run.

While Burnes has allowed a home run in six of his seven starts this season, he owns a 2.61 ERA over 41.1 innings with 41 strikeouts -- the sixth most in the American League. Burnes is lined up for a start against the Nationals on Tuesday.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Rebounds for second win

    Rotowire
    Burnes (2-0) earned the win Tuesday versus Boston, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out six. After Tyler O'Neill belted a solo home run in the first inning, Burnes settled in and blanked the Red Sox over his subsequent six frames, allowing just one additional hit. Burnes' dominant outing comes as a relief after the right-hander was tagged for nine hits over 5.2 innings versus Kansas City in his last start. He lowered his ERA to a pristine 1.93 with a 0.75 WHIP and 20:2 K:BB through his first three starts (18.2 innings) with Baltimore. Burnes is currently in line for a two-start week -- he's tentatively scheduled to face the Brewers at home Sunday.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Ducks first Baltimore loss

    Rotowire
    Burnes came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Royals, allowing two runs on nine hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out three without walking a batter. The right-hander fell just short of his second straight quality start to begin the season, getting pulled after exactly 100 pitches (67 strikes), but Burnes got outdueled by Cole Ragans and was in line for the loss until Baltimore rallied late. Burnes has a dazzling 14:0 K:BB through his first 11.2 innings with the O's, and he lines up to make his next start in Boston next week.

  • Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Confirmed for Opening Day

    Rotowire
    Manager Brandon Hyde named Burnes the Orioles' starter for Opening Day against the Angels on March 28, Buster Olney of ESPN reports. It's not a major surprise the Orioles' new ace will be taking the mound Opening Day, especially with Kyle Bradish (elbow) beginning the season on the injured list. Burnes is making his third Grapefruit League start Sunday versus the Blue Jays and will look to get on track ahead of the regular season, as he's allowed three runs on four hits and a walk over 2.2 frames in his first two spring starts.
