Sun Mar 312:39German Marquez Set To Begin Throwing Bullpen Sessions This Week
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (elbow) is scheduled to start throwing bullpen sessions this week, according to general manager Bill Schmidt. Marquez, who underwent Tommy John surgery last season, hasn't had any bullpen sessions since his surgery. The 29-year-old veteran started just four games last season before landing on the injured list with an elbow issue. In those four starts, he compiled a 4.95 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 17:3 K/BB Ratio over 20 innings. The Rockies GM noted that Marquez should make it back to the starting rotation after the 2024 All-Star break, barring any setbacks. Marquez has had effective stints throughout his eight-year career but he's hard to trust every time he takes the mound due to his team context and home ballpark.

Fri Feb 1616:30German Marquez Throwing Off A Mound In Camp
Colorado Rockies right-hander German Marquez (elbow), who hasn't pitched in a big-league game since April 26, 2023, due to Tommy John surgery, threw a bullpen session in spring training on Friday. Marquez still has a ways to go in his recovery from elbow reconstruction and isn't expected to return to the team's starting rotation until after the All-Star break, so he should go undrafted in all single-year mixed leagues in 2024. The 28-year-old Venezuelan had a career-worst 4.95 ERA (4.71 FIP) and 1.36 WHIP with 63 walks and 150 strikeouts in 181 2/3 innings over 31 starts for the Rockies in his last full season in 2022. Marquez has had an ERA under 4.00 just twice in his eight major-league seasons, and not since the shortened 2020 season, when he made only 13 starts.

Tue May 2 202321:51German Marquez Will Undergo Tommy John Surgery
Colorado Rockies right-handed hurler German Marquez (elbow) will require Tommy John surgery for his elbow injury sustained in his last start on April 26 before landing on the injured list, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com. That will keep the 28-year-old out until the middle of next season at the earliest. Marquez was in the midst of his eighth season in the big leagues and was running a 4.95 ERA, 21.3% strikeout rate, 1.10 WHIP and two wins across four starts. He's a solid arm in real life, but his fantasy value has always been limited because of his home park. Marquez isn't a significant loss for fantasy managers and can be replaced relatively easily by someone on the waiver wire.

Fri Apr 28 202318:32German Marquez Could Require Surgery
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (triceps) could require season-ending surgery. The right-hander told reporters on Friday that he might need to get Tommy John surgery. Marquez exited during Wednesday's start after experiencing pain in his triceps. Normally, players are optimistic in these situations, so to hear Marquez say he might need season-ending surgery isn't a good sign. He's set to undergo another MRI exam and receive a second opinion on Monday. Fantasy managers will likely have to wait until then before they get a better idea on his injury.

Wed Apr 26 202316:32German Marquez Dealing With Pain In Triceps
Updating a previous report, Colorado Rockies right-hander German Marquez (triceps) had an exam in Cleveland after leaving his start Wednesday early against the Guardians. Marquez is dealing with pain in his right triceps, but not his forearm, where his previous injury was. A team doctor is encouraged, but Marquez will have an MRI exam in Denver on Thursday. The 28-year-old just came off the 15-day injured list with right forearm inflammation, so hopefully he can avoid another trip back to the IL after allowing three runs on six hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out four in just 3 2/3 innings in a loss Wednesday. We'll know more on Thursday, but fantasy managers should prepare for the worst.

Wed Apr 26 202314:44German Marquez Leaves With Apparent Arm Injury Wednesday
Colorado Rockies pitcher German Marquez left Wednesday's game in the fourth inning with an apparent arm injury. It's a significant incident as Wednesday marked Marquez's return to the rotation after he served a 15-day stint on the injured list with right forearm inflammation. The veteran right-hander surrendered three earned runs on six hits -- including a homer -- against the Guardians before leaving with two outs in the fourth frame. It's obviously a setback for Marquez personally but also for a Rockies rotation that ranks 27th with a 5.87 ERA on the season while they've predictably struggled at Coors Field in Colorado where the rotation has turned in a 6.40 ERA on the season.

Tue Apr 25 202321:48German Marquez Returning Wednesday
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (forearm) will come off the injured list to start Wednesday's matchup with the Cleveland Guardians, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. In a corresponding move, right-hander Jose Urena was designated for assignment. The 28-year-old Marquez was off to a decent start before going on the shelf, pitching to a 4.41 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 13 strikeouts and two wins across 16.1 innings. He'll never have a lot of value, assuming he keeps pitching at Coors Field, but he still gives fantasy managers solid volume.

Mon Apr 24 202314:10German Marquez Could Return This Week
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (forearm) threw his second full bullpen session on Sunday and reported no issues. Manager Bud Black said that Marquez is "on track" to return to the starting rotation soon, possibly as early as this week. "It's looking good for a return," Black said. The 28-year-old right-hander can return as soon as Wednesday from the 15-day injured list, but it's more likely that he'll return to start at some point this weekend in a series at Coors Field against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Marquez is the most attractive fantasy starter for the Rockies, but that's not saying all that much. In his three starts so far in 2023, he has a 4.41 ERA (4.49 FIP), 0.92 WHIP, two walks and 13 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings pitched.

Wed Apr 12 202316:06German Marquez Goes On IL, Rockies Recall Nolan Jones
The Colorado Rockies placed starting pitcher German Marquez (forearm) on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a right forearm injury and recalled infielder/outfielder Nolan Jones from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. Marquez doesn't have any structural damage in his arm, so he should come off the IL when eligible. Colorado's ace has made three starts this year and has allowed eight runs on 13 hits (three home runs allowed) while walking only two and striking out 13 in 16 1/3 innings pitched. Like most of the team's pitchers, he's best used as a streamer on the road. Jones, the team's No. 17 prospect per MLB Pipeline, already had six home runs and 14 RBI at Triple-A before his call-up, but it's unclear if he'll see enough playing time in Colorado to warrant fantasy attention outside of NL-only leagues.

Tue Apr 11 202308:13Rockies Hopeful About German Marquez's Injury
Colorado Rockies starter German Marquez (forearm) left Monday's start prematurely after experiencing right forearm tightness before the sixth inning. However, after the contest, both the 28-year-old and the club were optimistic about the ailment, and he only left the game as a precaution. There's still more to come, but so far, it's good news for the Rockies, who are hoping to have Marquez cleared for his next start. He owns a 4.41 ERA, 20.6% strikeout rate, 3.2% walk rate, and 0.92 WHIP with two victories over three starts. The righty is a solid arm considering he pitches at Coors Field, but that severely hurts his fantasy value, and fantasy managers should only roster Marquez in deeper leagues.

Tue Apr 11 202300:25German Marquez's Next Start Date Unknown
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (forearm) said after Monday's 7-4 win over the Cardinals that he was not sure if he would have to miss his next start, per Denver Post's Patrick Saunders. Marquez came out during the sixth inning and could be seen pointing to his forearm while exiting the field. He said he should know more about his situation tomorrow. The 28-year-old has gotten off to a decent start this season, going 2-1 with a 4.41 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings pitched. Fantasy managers should know more in the next couple of days.

Mon Apr 10 202321:55German Marquez Leaves Monday Start Early
Colorado Rockies right-hander German Marquez (forearm) left his Monday start against the St. Louis Cardinals early. Marquez came out during the sixth inning and could be seen pointing to his forearm while exiting the field. He allowed two runs on three hits over five-plus innings while striking out four before Brent Suter replaced him on the mound. Expect the Rockies to update Marquez's status upon the completion of Monday's game. Stay tuned.

Thu Mar 2 202322:20German Marquez Making Debut Saturday
Colorado Rockies right-hander German Marquez (hamstring) is slated to make his spring debut on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners. The 28-year-old suffered a minor hamstring injury during conditioning, which caused him to withdraw from the World Baseball Classic. He recently threw a two-inning bullpen session and is ready to make his debut. Marquez is probably the most appealing fantasy pitcher out of the Rockies rotation, but he will only be an option in deeper leagues. Marquez shaped a 4.95 ERA with a 1.365 WHIP and 150 strikeouts in 2022. He pitched 181 2/3 innings and made 31 starts with a 19.3% strikeout rate. The right-hander could be moved at the trade deadline if he continues to impress at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

Wed Mar 1 202312:35German Marquez Throws Live BP Tuesday
Colorado Rockies right-hander German Marquez (hamstring) threw a two-inning live batting practice session on Tuesday, and his next action will be in a Cactus League game in a few days. Marquez is a bit behind the other pitchers in camp while dealing with left hamstring soreness, but he's coming along nicely now and will have plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day at the end of March. The 28-year-old is probably the most attractive fantasy starter for the Rockies, but that isn't saying much. At best, he's probably a streaming option away from Coors Field in deeper leagues. He went 9-13 in 31 starts last year, posting a 4.95 ERA (4.71 FIP), 1.36 WHIP and weak 19.3 percent strikeout rate in 181 2/3 innings for the Rockies.

Fri Feb 24 202315:35German Marquez Set For Live BP Session Saturday
Colorado Rockies right-hander German Marquez (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session on Saturday. Marquez is taking things slow early in spring training after coming into camp dealing with a sore left hamstring. It's not a serious issue, so the 28-year-old should be just fine for Opening Day, barring a setback in camp. The expectation is that Marquez won't be ready for Cactus League action for at least another week, but he still has plenty of time to build up his pitch count. He's the most attractive Rockies starter in fantasy, but it doesn't mean he's all that sexy. In 2022, Marquez allowed too many home runs and saw a drop in his strikeout rate as well. Fantasy managers should really only consider Marquez as a streamer on the road in deeper leagues.

Sun Feb 19 202314:38German Marquez Tests Hamstring Sunday
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (hamstring) tested his sore left hamstring during a bullpen session at spring training on Sunday. Marquez was forced to pull out of the 2023 World Baseball Classic for Team Venezuela because of the injury, but there are no indications that it will cause him to miss the start of the regular season, barring a setback. Don't be surprised if the 27-year-old right-hander is held back in Cactus League games initially in camp. It's hard to get behind Rockies pitchers in fantasy, and Marquez is no different after he had a 4.95 ERA (4.71 FIP), 1.36 WHIP and 19.3 percent strikeout rate in 31 starts and 181 2/3 innings last year. He's currently listed as RotoBaller's No. 125-ranked fantasy starter.

Fri Aug 12 202216:04German Marquez Completes Second Quality Start In A Row Thursday
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez held the St. Louis Cardinals in check on Thursday, allowing two runs in six innings, en route to his second consecutive quality start and 11th of the season. He struck out six and walked just one but wasn't in line for the victory. The right-hander owns a 6-9 record, 5.08 ERA, 18.8 K%, and 1.42 WHIP over 22 starts. As expected, Marquez has much better numbers on the road with a 4.07 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, and he's been hot lately, posting a 3.50 ERA across his last seven starts. He's not rosterable in every league, but fantasy managers can stream him in road games if they're in need of an arm.

Sat Jul 30 202218:19Rockies Holding Onto Kyle Freeland, Antonio Senzatela, German Marquez,
The Colorado Rockies are reportedly set to hold onto starting pitchers Kyle Freeland, Antonio Senzatela, and German Marquez. This news comes on the heels of earlier news that the Rockies were extending closer Daniel Bard and not planning to trade first baseman C.J. Cron. The Rockies obviously think they are very close to competing and want to keep their top assets around. For Rockies fans, this news may sting a bit as just last season the Rockies kept Trevor Story around only for him to walk in free agency. Fortunately, all the players the Rockies are reportedly keeping this season are under contract at least through next year. For the three starters, this news means their fantasy value remains limited to streamer option only.

Sat Jul 2 202218:32German Marquez Completes Bullpen Session Saturday
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (thumb) completed a bullpen session on Saturday. According to Rockies beat writer Patrick Saunders, Marquez said his right thumb felt fine after the session. Marquez developed a cut on his right thumb about a week ago. He attempted to pitch through the ailment on Wednesday, but struggled in the outing and had to be removed in the fourth inning. Based on his successful bullpen session Saturday, it seems likely he'll be good to go for his next start on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

Sun May 15 202200:17German Marquez Picks Up First Win
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez picked up his first win of the season on Saturday as his club handily defeated the Royals 10-4. The right-hander logged a quality start by allowing three runs on three hits and a walk through six innings, while recording six strikeouts in the process. All the damage against him came in the third frame which was highlighted by a Salvador Perez two-run bomb. After an impressive first start of the season, Marquez has struggled mightily to a 6.16 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and a 32/11 K/BB through seven starts and 38 IP on the year. He's generally been an unpredictable pitcher, but managers should err on the side of caution with an upcoming home start versus the Mets next weekend.
