Thu Mar 2818:18Corbin Burnes Pitches A Gem On Opening Day
The Baltimore Orioles' prized offseason acquisition and Opening Day starter Corbin Burnes tossed six innings of scoreless ball on Thursday, securing the win in an 11-3 victory over the Angels. The three-time All-Star struck out 11 batters and didn't allow a walk. The only blemish was a solo homer given up in the first inning to future Hall of Famer Mike Trout. Sometimes it plays out just the way you drew it up -- the O's get off on the right foot in their defense of last year's American League East division title, and Burnes rewards fantasy managers who spent a second-round pick on the 29-year-old with a masterful start to the season. Burnes' next start could come at home next Wednesday against the Royals.

Thu Mar 2811:09Corbin Burnes Faces Off With Angels On Opening Day
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes will go up against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday in Baltimore. It will be his first Opening Day start for the Orioles and he'll match up against the Angels' LHP Patrick Sandoval. Burnes allowed five home runs in five spring games and finished with a 6.75 ERA, although he walked just two while striking out 13 in 16 IP. The Angel batters will see a mix of cut fastball (55%), curve (17%), changeup (11%), slider (9%), and sinker (8%) from the 3x All-Star, with the cutter clocking at 94.4 mph last season and the curveball being his most effective put-away pitch (26.3% Put Away%, 53.1% K%). Having pitched in the National League for all of his career to this point, the 29-year-old hasn't faced the Angels much, but for what it's worth, he's faced superstar Mike Trout three times in his career with Trout going 1-for-2 with a sacrifice fly off of the righty.

Sun Mar 1011:25Corbin Burnes Officially Named Opening Day Starter
Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde announced on Sunday that starting pitcher Corbin Burnes would be the team's Opening Day starter. While it had been assumed, Hyde made it official and it will be Burnes' third straight start on Opening Day -- the prior two coming with his previous club, the Milwaukee Brewers. The Orioles' prize offseason acquisition, Burnes has made three straight All-Star appearances and is a former Cy Young winner (2021). The 29-year-old is the third pitcher coming off of the board in fantasy drafts and justifiably so. He's a solid anchor for any real-life and fantasy pitching staff. RotoBaller likes the righty at 20 overall, slightly ahead of his NFBC ADP of 24.

Thu Feb 120:35Orioles Acquiring Corbin Burnes From Brewers
The Baltimore Orioles are acquiring right-hander Corbin Burnes, the 2021 National League Cy Young winner, from the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday in exchange for shortstop Joey Ortiz and left-hander DL Hall, according to sources. The move comes just a day after the Angelos family agreed to part with a controlling stake in the franchise. The Orioles get the top-of-the-rotation starter they've been searching for all offseason, although Burnes will be eligible for free agency at the end of 2024. The 29-year-old is a two-time All-Star is almost certain to hit free agency next offseason, as Scott Boras is his agent. Burnes went 10-8 with a 3.39 ERA in 193 2/3 innings for Milwaukee in 2023 and had the best walks-and-hits-per-innings ratio in the NL and fifth-best in the majors. Although he'll be moving to a tougher division in the American League East, Burnes will be backed by an even better offense.

Thu Jan 1121:21Corbin Burnes, Brewers Settle At $15.673 Million
Right-hander Corbin Burnes and the Milwaukee Brewers settled at $15,637,500 for the 2024 season to avoid salary arbitration on Thursday. Burnes and the Brewers went to an arbitration hearing last year, which caused Burnes to come away with a bad taste in his mouth. The 29-year-old will see a $5.5 million increase in his salary after having another solid season in 2023 with a 10-8 record, 3.39 ERA (3.81 FIP) and league-best 1.07 WHIP while walking a career-high 66 and striking out 200 in 193 2/3 innings over his 32 starts. The two sides aren't expected to work out a long-term contract extension, and Burnes' name has been on the trade market this offseason. No matter where Burnes is pitching in 2024, he'll be a high-end fantasy starter with elite strikeout upside, having reached 200 K's in each of his last three seasons.

Thu Dec 21 202319:27Brewers Might Hang Onto Corbin Burnes
The possibility exists that the Milwaukee Brewers might hang onto right-hander Corbin Burnes for the start of the 2024 season because of owner Mark Attanasio's desire to compete and avoid the type of backlash the team received for trading closer Josh Hader at the 2022 deadline, according to major-league sources briefed on the team's thinking. The Brewers just dealt right-hander Adrian Houser and outfielder Tyrone Taylor to the New York Mets on Wednesday, which could make it easier to carry Burnes' projected $15.1 million salary. If the Brewers aren't contending, they could move Burnes at the August deadline for what could be a better return. Teams view Burnes as unlikely to sign an extension, which has kept his trade value low this winter.

Mon Dec 4 202313:48Padres Interested In Corbin Burnes
The San Diego Padres are reportedly interested in acquiring right-hander Corbin Burnes from the Milwaukee Brewers. Adding pitching is one of the Padres' top priorities of the offseason with the team moving on from Nick Martinez, Michael Wacha, Seth Lugo and National League Cy Young winner Blake Snell. Burnes won the 2021 NL Cy Young. San Diego is intent on adding several starting pitchers this offseason, even if they don't end up trading outfielder Juan Soto. The 29-year-old Burnes would essentially be replacing Snell and would still give the Padres a formidable trio of starters alongside Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove. The Padres could also choose to re-sign Lugo, although his price tag is probably a little too rich after a breakout season in 2023 as a full-time starter.

Mon Nov 20 202322:00Dodgers Could Look To Land Corbin Burnes, Willy Adames
One executive has speculated that the Los Angeles Dodgers could make an attempt to land both Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes and shortstop Willy Adames in the same deal this offseason. Both Burnes and Adames are eligible for free agency next offseason. The Dodgers are fully expected to pursue starting pitching in the offseason with Walker Buehler (elbow) coming off Tommy John surgery and with Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) on the open market. LA is likely to pursue both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani (elbow), the two big-ticket free-agent options this winter, but Ohtani won't be able to take the mound at all in 2024. The Brewers are heading into a rebuilding phase and are listening on all of their players.

Fri Nov 17 202314:58Corbin Burnes Explains Lack Of Extension Talks With Brewers
Milwaukee Brewers ace Corbin Burnes explained why he and the club have not had any contract extension talks as he approaches his final season of club control. Speaking to Foul Territory TV, Burnes essentially explained that his ace-level results over the last few seasons priced him out of the small-market Brewers' range and both he and the club separately figured there was little point in discussing a short-term deal or a low-dollar figure offer just one year before free agency. As a result, Burnes' name will swirl in trade rumors this winter after he worked to a 3.39 ERA in 32 starts in 2023 while posting sub-3.00 ERA figures from 2020-2022. The Chicago Cubs are one club that has been rumored to have trade interest in the 29-year-old.

Mon Oct 2 202322:58Corbin Burnes To Start Game 1 Against Diamondbacks
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes will take the ball for the Brew Crew in Game 1 of the wild-card series on Tuesday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. He'll be opposed by rookie right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. With Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) now unavailable to pitch in this series due to injury, the Brewers will need Burnes and Freddy Peralta to step up. The 28-year-old Burnes has been solid all year for Milwaukee, going 10-8 with a 3.39 ERA (3.81 FIP), league-low 1.07 WHIP, 66 walks and 200 strikeouts in 193 2/3 innings over 32 starts. The three-time All-Star (each of the last three years) allowed seven earned runs on 11 hits (one homer) while walking just two and striking out 11 in 13 innings in his two starts against Arizona this year.

Mon Sep 11 202300:56Corbin Burnes Throws Eight No-Hit Innings, Sprains Ankle
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes (ankle) threw eight no-hit innings against the New York Yankees on Sunday, but he suffered a sprained ankle during the start. Burnes made a nice play to end the seventh inning but hurt his ankle in the process. He is expected to be fine for his next start, which should be next weekend against the Washington Nationals. Outside of the injury, things were superb for Burnes. He struck out seven while walking two, and looked like the dominant pitcher fantasy owners wanted him to be when they drafted him in the first two rounds in March. Things haven't gone totally according to plan, but Burnes has been more than serviceable and will likely be drafted as a top-15 pitcher again next year.

Wed Aug 30 202300:23Corbin Burnes Takes Tough Loss Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes pitched well but took the loss in Tuesday's 1-0 game against the Cubs. Burned pitched seven innings, allowing one run on eight hits and two walks with seven strikeouts. However, he was outdueled by Justin Steele. Burnes has generally pitched well this season but has not been to the standard fantasy managers had hoped for with a 9-7 record, a 3.55 ERA, and a 9/11 K.9 rate in 27 starts. His next start will be a favorable matchup at the Pirates.

Thu Aug 17 202319:08Corbin Burnes Aims To Rebound Against Dodgers
The Milwaukee Brewers and starting pitcher Corbin Burnes look to stave off a series sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. The 28-year-old staggered in his last showing, allowing five runs in 5.1 innings pitched to break up a hot streak of seven straight quality starts. Burnes sets up for a difficult bounce-back spot in this one versus the Dodgers, who the right-hander shows an ugly 8.62 ERA in four career starts (15.2 IP) against since 2019. Season-long fantasy managers would be hard-pressed to sit Burnes despite a tough matchup, but perhaps expectations should be slightly tempered on Thursday.

Sat Aug 12 202315:35Corbin Burnes Knocked Around By The White Sox On Friday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes took a no-decision on Friday when he surrendered five earned runs on eight hits with three walks and five strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in a 7-6 win over the Chicago White Sox in extra-innings. Burnes was not sharp in this outing, allowing runs in the first, third, and fourth innings. Eloy Jimenez tagged him for a two-run blast in the bottom of the third inning and he issues three free passes. However, prior to Friday's subpar outing, Burnes had notched seven straight quality starts to the tune of a 2.00 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, and 52:17 K/BB ratio over 45 innings since July 1, so this was a rare off night for the 28-year-old. Overall, he owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.083 WHIP, and 146:53 K/BB ratio over 145 innings on the year. He'll look to bounce back in his next turn when he faces the Dodgers on the road in a tough matchup.

Tue Aug 1 202302:49Corbin Burnes Notches Yet Another Quality Start On Monday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes tossed six two-run innings with five strikeouts on Monday against the Washington Nationals. The 28-year-old permitted four hits and three walks on the way to a no-decision. Burnes induced three groundouts to start the outing before Joey Meneses took him deep to begin the second frame. The right-hander would settle down and manage a bit of traffic on the bases, but Lane Thomas delivered a fifth-inning RBI single to inflict some more damage. Burnes would retire the sixth-inning side in order to complete yet another successful showing; he logged his sixth straight quality start for a 1.85 ERA over the stretch to wrap up July. Fantasy's consensus top pitcher from this past spring's drafts endured an uncharacteristically-shaky start to get back on track for an NL-leading 1.05 WHIP and 6.3 H/9 in 133.1 frames overall this season. Burnes lines up for Saturday's favorable draw versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Thu Jul 20 202317:23Corbin Burnes Strikes Out 10 Over Eight Shutout Innings On Thursday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes earned the win on Thursday when he fired eight shutout innings with 10 strikeouts and one walk in a 4-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Burnes was brilliant in this one, limiting the Phillies to just three base runners (two hits and one walk) over his eight shutout innings. He's now struck out 10 or more batters in back-to-back turns and has picked up four straight quality starts. After scuffling in the earlier part of the season, Burnes' recent hot streak has lowered his ERA to 3.49 to go along with a 1.06 WHIP and 125:42 K/BB ratio over 121 1/3 innings (20 starts). He'll carry his 9-5 record into his next start against the Cincinnati Reds at home.

Wed Jul 12 202300:31Corbin Burnes Told He Won't Be Traded
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes said Tuesday that he was told directly by general manager Matt Arnold that he will not be traded this season, per Cincinnati Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer. The 28-year-old was rumored to be a potential trade piece for the Brewers since the spring, but they are currently just one game out of first place in the National League Central. Burnes has not delivered what fantasy managers were expecting to this point, going 7-5 with a 3.94 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 23.1% strikeout rate. Hopefully, he can turn things around in the second half and show why he was drafted as a top pitcher.

Sun Jul 2 202314:08Corbin Burnes Flirts With Perfection In Vintage Display
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes fired seven innings of two-run ball on just one hit and two walks with seven strikeouts during Saturday's 11-8 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. With Milwaukee up 10-0, the 28-year-old was cruising along as he took a perfect-game bid into the sixth inning before giving up consecutive walks, a hit-by-pitch, and a two-run single to diminish what was an otherwise masterful showing. Burnes proceeded to throw a clean seventh frame to wrap up his day. It was a much-needed jolt for the former Cy Young award winner, who still carries an unexpected 4.00 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 96:35 K:BB across 101 1/3 innings this season. Burnes is next penciled in to battle the emergent Cincinnati Reds lineup on Friday.

Sat Jun 3 202309:53Corbin Burnes Logs Quality Start Before Ejection
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes went six innings on Friday, giving up three runs and striking out seven batters in the team's 5-4 win in extras over the Cincinnati Reds. The 28-year-old allowed just two hits, but struggled with four walks and took a no-decision. Burnes was ejected for arguing the strike zone after his final frame of work. The former ERA title holder and Cy Young award winner has a ho-hum 3.75 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 66 punchouts in 69 2/3 innings this year. Fantasy managers expected a bit greater out of the consensus No. 1 overall starting pitcher option in spring drafts. There's no need for panic, but Burnes is mostly treading water and shows a career-low 2.36 strikeouts per walk. The two-time All-Star is in search of a vintage performance and Burnes may have a decent chance at that versus the Cedric Mullins-less Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.

Tue May 23 202300:39Corbin Burnes Allows Four Home Runs In Monday's Loss
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes was off his game again in Monday's 12-2 loss to the Astros. Burnes pitched five innings, allowing five runs on seven hits (including four home runs) and two walks with five strikeouts. The 28-year-old was drafted as one of fantasy's top starters but has compiled a disappointing 4-4 record with a 3.97 ERA, 8.10 K/9 rate, and 1.43 HR/9 rate in his first 10 starts. Hopefully, he will be able to get things back to how they have been the past several seasons. He will have a decent chance to do that in his next start against the Giants.
