Corbin Burnes Racks Up Eight Strikeouts In Dominant Win
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes was dominant on Friday, striking out eight batters in seven innings during the Orioles' 7-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. Burnes walked three batters but only allowed three hits and allowed no runs while recording his 15th win of the season. This marks Burnes' fifth straight start giving up two earned runs or less, a great sign for the Orioles as Baltimore gets ready for October. The 29-year-old has been fantastic in his first season in Baltimore, posting a 2.95 ERA. He'll be the focal point of Baltimore's rotation as they look for their first postseason series win since 2014. His final scheduled start of the season is set for next Thursday when the Orioles finish a series at Yankee Stadium against the Yankees.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes was handed his sixth loss of the season on Thursday, allowing six runs (five earned) in 5 innings against the Houston Astros. Burnes allowed eight hits and two walks while striking out just two. The 29-year-old now has just one good start in his last four and seems to be fading a bit. His strikeout rate has regressed and in turn he is allowing more contact, leading to more hits and runs as of late. While it's not a major concern, it's fair to worry that the ace pitcher Burnes has been may no longer be who he is. That said, he is still an elite pitcher in fantasy and a must-start every time he goes out.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes allowed eight runs in four innings in Friday night's defeat to the visiting division-rival Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards. Burnes was roughed up for 10 hits and three walks on Friday against Boston, but he did at least strike out seven hitters while taking his fifth loss of the year in his disastrous outing for Baltimore. The 29-year-old ace right-hander will look to bounce back in his next time out, still carrying a sturdy 3.10 ERA and 1.11 WHIP while fanning 144 and walking 38 across 153 2/3 frames (25 starts) in his first year with the O's in 2024.
Corbin Burnes Fans Seven In Quality Start, Win Tuesday
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes continued his excellent season in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jays. Burnes pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks with seven strikeouts. He also uncharacteristically hit two batters. The 29-year-old has been pretty much everything the O's and fantasy managers had hoped for, going 11-4 with a 2.47 ERA, an 8.31 K/9 rate, and a 2.14 BB/9 rate in 22 starts and 138 2/3 IP. His strikeout rate has been lower than expected, but only four of his starts have not been quality starts, so he has compiled enough innings to help with his strikeout count. Burnes' next start will be a tough matchup at the Guardians, but fantasy managers should have him in their rotations at all times.
Corbin Burnes Pitches Into Eighth Inning Against Marlins
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes had a solid performance on Thursday, tossing 7 innings of three-run ball against the Miami Marlins. Burnes allowed six hits and one walk while punching out five. The outing would've been even better, but Burnes got into trouble in the eighth and wasn't bailed out by his reliever. Even worse for the 29-year-old was that he was in line for the win until closer Craig Kimbrel blew a 6-3 lead in the ninth. Getting away from the bad news, Burnes now has five quality starts in a row and 17 on the year. Although his strikeouts are down, he has been more efficient while maintaining his solid ratios. It seems to be a good tradeoff for the righty, and one that fantasy managers are probably willing to take.
Corbin Burnes Getting Second Half Underway For O's
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes will toe the slab for Friday's series opener against the defending-champion Texas Rangers in Arlington. Despite starting the All-Star Game for the American League on Tuesday, Burnes will get the first start following the Midsummer Classic after producing a stellar 2.43 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 110 strikeouts and 25 walks over 118 2/3 innings (19 starts) for the Orioles in his first season in Baltimore. In his lone career appearance against Texas earlier this year, the 29-year-old perennial All-Star gave up one run on nine hits with five strikeouts in seven innings while picking up the win. Burnes is a set-and-forget fantasy play against this disappointing Rangers offense on Friday night.
Corbin Burnes Named American League Starter For All-Star Game
American League All-Star coach Bruce Bochy announced Monday that Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes will have the honor of starting the 2024 Mid-Summer Classic for his team. When asked about his decision to start Burnes, Bochy said, "He's had an incredible career. This is his fourth consecutive All-Star Game... It's his time to start an All-Star Game." The 29-year-old has pitched like the ace the O's were looking for, going 9-4 with a 2.43 ERA, a 1.04 WHIP, and a 23.3% strikeout rate in 19 starts and 118 2/3 innings pitched. This is the second consecutive season that his strikeout numbers have dipped, but fantasy managers can't argue with 15 quality starts in 19 starts this season with everything else being so consistent.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes continued his impressive season with a no-decision on Thursday versus the Seattle Mariners. The upcoming free-agent tossed six innings of two-run ball and allowed four hits and one walk with six strikeouts. The veteran has continued to throw up dominant numbers and has been one of the best pitchers in the game over the past five seasons. With his strong performance, Burnes remains 9-3 with a 2.32 ERA and 105 strikeouts in 112 2/3 innings. A must-start in all outings, Burnes is lined up to face a weak Chicago Cubs offense on Wednesday.
Baltimore Orioles pitcher Corbin Burnes was activated from the paternity list on the team's off day on Monday. Burnes was placed on the paternity list on Friday, and after spending the weekend series against the visiting Texas Rangers away from the team, he will re-join them ahead of the Orioles' three-game set against the Seattle Mariners, beginning on Tuesday. It remains to be seen which day the right-hander will make his next start, but it is expected to come in one of the three games in Seattle. He will continue to be a must-start option in fantasy, as he currently owns a 2.28 ERA and 99 strikeouts across 17 starts this season.
The Baltimore Orioles placed right-hander Corbin Burnes on the paternity list on Friday and recalled left-hander Matt Krook from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.

He picked up his ninth win of the campaign on Thursday in the series opener versus the visiting Rangers by giving up just one earned run on nine hits (one homer) while walking none and fanning five in seven innings. Burnes will be a must-start when he returns to the team next week against the first-place M's.
