Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Fans eight in no-decision
Rotowire
Burnes allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out eight in 5.1 innings Thursday against Tampa Bay. He didn't factor into the decision.
It was a nice performance overall by the star right-hander, though he couldn't stick around long enough to get his third straight quality start. Burnes began the game with three clean innings and yielded a season-low three hits and one earned run, also tying a season high with eight punchouts. He committed a fielding error in the sixth inning, so both of the runs allowed in the frame were unearned, much to the delight of fantasy managers. Burnes still has work to do to improve his 4.05 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB over 26.2 innings (five starts), but things won't get much easier in his next scheduled outing at New York against the Mets.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Quality start in no-decision
Rotowire
Burnes didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 13-11 loss to the Cubs, allowing two runs on six hits while striking out three batters across six innings. He did not issue a walk.
Burnes put the Diamondbacks in an early hole by giving up a double to Pete Crow-Armstrong followed by a Carson Kelly home run in the second inning. Fortunately for Burnes (and fantasy managers), those were the only two runs he conceded Friday, as he managed to avoid the 11-run outburst the Cubs' offense would enjoy across the seventh and eighth frames. The 30-year-old righty was without his typical strikeout stuff yet again and now has fanned just nine batters over 17 innings across his last three starts. He'll look to recapture his previous form during his next start when the D-backs return home to take on the Rays.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Records first quality start
Rotowire
Burnes did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Brewers, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three.
After allowing a pair of runs in the second inning, Burnes held Milwaukee off the board until Jackson Chourio homered in the sixth. It was a step in the right direction for Burnes, who's gotten off to a shaky start with the Diamondbacks. He now has a 5.28 ERA with a 1.57 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB through his first 15.1 innings this season. Burnes currently lines up for a road matchup with the Cubs in his next outing.

Rotowire
Burnes (0-1) took the loss against the Nationals on Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks with three strikeouts over five innings. He also hit two batters.
Burnes was given a 1-0 lead in the first inning but yielded four runs over his first three frames. He lacked command, issuing four free passes while inducing only eight swinging strikes on 89 pitches. The 30-year-old is off to a slow start, posting a 5.79 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB through 9.1 innings. He's slated for a home matchup with the Brewers next weekend.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Fans eight in shaky outing
Rotowire
Burnes allowed four runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Tuesday. He struck out eight.
Burnes recorded three strikeouts in two scoreless frames to start the contest before allowing four runs over the next two innings. He needed 98 pitches (65 strikes) to record just 13 outs, but he also forced 16 swinging strikes. Despite the overall inefficiency, his eight strikeouts and near 100-pitch season debut are a good sign for the 30-year-old righty. Burnes' next start is projected to be in Washington this weekend.

Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Reason for rotation slot
Rotowire
Burnes was slotted fifth in the rotation because the right-hander wanted to remain on a five-day pitching schedule, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Eyebrows may have been raised when the Diamondbacks announced Burnes, a prized offseason addition, was going to start the fifth game of the season. That's because manager Torey Lovullo didn't decide on Zac Gallen to start Opening Day until later in camp, and Burnes wanted to maintain a five-day routine. Burnes last pitched in a Cactus League game Friday, so if the right-hander started the second game of the regular season, he would be doing so on one week's rest. Instead, Burnes will throw a simulated game on Wednesday before making his regular-season debut the following Tuesday.

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.

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: 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: 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.
