Overview

  • Patrick Corbin was bitten on the foot, likely by a venomous spider, while playing with his kids at Max Scherzer's home on Monday.
  • The bite caused severe swelling, leaving his Wednesday start against the Angels in question, with manager Bruce Bochy calling it a '50/50' decision.
  • Despite the injury, Corbin pitched 5⅓ innings, allowing only one run, in the Rangers' 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
  • Corbin reported lingering soreness but is confident he will be ready for his next start with continued treatment.
  • Signed to a one-year deal in March, Corbin's performance provides stability to a Rangers pitching staff dealing with multiple injuries.
