Corbin Burnes Making A Push For A Rotation Spot
5 years agoMilwaukee Brewers pitcher Corbin Burnes had another stellar outing Monday, tossing four dominant innings in the Brewers 2-1 walk-off win over the Mariners at American Family Fields of Phoenix. Burnes allowed his first run of the Cactus League slate in the fourth when he gave up a leadoff home run to Kyle Lewis. However, he then fanned the side, boosting his strikeout total to six. He’s struck out 13 over 10 innings and has a 0.90 ERA this spring. The 25-year-old is doing everything he can to lock up the final spot in the Brewers rotation, but he faces tough competition. If Burnes wins a rotation, spot he has the ability to be a difference-maker for your fantasy team and could be a solid late-round sleeper selection. He could also be of use for his strikeout ratios in deep NL-only leagues if he's pitching out of the bullpen.
