Welcome to the Toronto Blue Jays organization, Patrick Corbin.
After inking a one-year deal with Toronto on Friday, Corbin was on the mound Saturday, pitching for the low-A Dunedin Blue Jays.
The veteran southpaw carried himself well with his new team, working five innings of one-run ball while striking out nine.
The one run that Corbin allowed was unearned, when an error from outfielder Matt Scannell helped the Bradenton Marauders get on the scoreboard in the top of the first.
That was all the Marauders could muster on the afternoon, however, as Corbin allowed just four hits and one walk.
The 36-year-old tossed 74 pitches — 53 strikes — mixing in his slider, sinker, cutter, changeup and four-seam fastball.
Corbin’s sinker averaged 91.6 m.p.h., and he generated seven swings-and-misses with his slider.
As the Blue Jays manage rotation injuries to Trey Yesavage, José Berríos, Shane Bieber and Cody Ponce, Corbin figures to be a potential short-term solution.
A veteran of 13 MLB seasons, the 2019 World Series champion spent 2025 with the Texas Rangers and recorded a 4.40 ERA in 155.1 innings.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters Saturday in Chicago that the team would decide the next steps for Corbin after his outing in Dunedin.
