Corbin Burnes's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Baltimore Orioles extended a $21.05 million qualifying offer to free-agent right-hander Corbin Burnes on Monday, according to sources. Burnes is fully expected to decline the qualifying offer as he searches for a lucrative long-term offer on the open market. If the 30-year-old veteran ends up signing with another team this winter, the Orioles will receive draft-pick compensation. Baltimore acquired him in February from the Milwaukee Brewers, and he went 15-9 with a 2.92 ERA (3.55 FIP), a 1.09 WHIP and 181:48 K:BB in 194 1/3 innings over 32 starts in 2024 for his fourth straight All-Star selection. Regardless of where Burnes is pitching in 2025, he should be viewed as a fantasy ace. 2024 broke a string of three straight seasons of 200-plus strikeouts for Burnes.

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.

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.
