Since returning to the team on July 4, Corbin has gone 2-3 and posted a no decision in his last two starts against the Washington Nationals and the Cincinnati Reds last weekend.
But Corbin has had success against the Braves in his career. In his previous two starts against them, he is 1-0 and held the hitters to 10 scoreless innings.
Foltynewicz owns a 5.23 ERA this season in 72 1/3 innings with 63 strike outs. He went winless in May and June with six straight no decisions.
He picked up his first win since May 24 in his last start on Saturday against the Miami Marlins.
Foltynewicz faced the D-backs earlier this season and gave up four earned runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings in a loss on June 3 at Chase Field.
