Rockies' German Marquez: Collapses in fifth inning in loss
Rotowire
Marquez (0-2) took the loss Friday against the Padres, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out three.
The veteran right-hander retired 12 of the first 14 batters he faced Friday, and his three punchouts all came in the second inning when he fanned the side, but it all came apart during a six-run Padres barrage in the fifth inning. Through three starts, Marquez holds a 4.60 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB over 15.2 innings. Marquez won't be a recommended fantasy option on the road against the Dodgers in his next scheduled start, which is set for the middle of the next week.

Rockies' German Marquez: Wild in loss Saturday
Rotowire
Marquez (0-1) took the loss against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and six walks while striking out three batters over five innings.
Marquez was handed a 3-0 lead through three frames, but he couldn't hang onto it. He threw only 48 of his 89 pitches for strikes and issued six free passes while also uncorking a wild pitch as he struggled with his control throughout the outing. This was a disappointing second start for the veteran hurler after he shined with six shutout innings and no walks against Philadelphia in his season debut March 31.

Rockies' German Marquez: Delivers scoreless outing
Rotowire
Marquez allowed four hits and no walks and struck out four over six shutout innings while taking a no-decision in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Phillies.
Marquez looked sharp through six scoreless frames and left the contest in line for a win before Philadelphia's bats caught fire against the Rockies bullpen. The veteran righty threw 52 of 83 pitches for strikes and gave up two extra-base knocks. Marquez finished with his first scoreless start since Aug. 28, 2022, as he made just five total starts between the 2023 and 2024 campaigns. He's currently in line to face the Athletics at home this weekend.

Rotowire
Marquez threw two scoreless innings in his Cactus League debut Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Marquez also struck out two and walked two. Most importantly, he threw 32 pitches and came away with no injury concerns, a significant development after he was limited to only one start in 2024 while recovering from an elbow injury. Marquez figures to lead the Rockies' rotation in 2025.

Rockies' German Marquez: Clean bill of health for camp
Rotowire
Rockies manager Bud Black said Thursday that Marquez (elbow) is back to full health for spring training, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
After completing his recovery from his May 2023 Tommy John surgery, Marquez was cleared to make his 2024 debut for the Rockies on July 14, but he made just one start before going back on the shelf after developing a stress reaction in his surgically repaired elbow. Fortunately for Marquez, he didn't require another procedure and was able to move past the elbow issue through extended rest and rehab. The 29-year-old should be in the mix for the Rockies' Opening Day start, though that will hinge on him remaining healthy throughout the spring.

Rockies' German Marquez: Pushed to 60-day IL
Rotowire
Marquez (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Rockies' German Marquez: Shut down for season
Rotowire
Rockies manager Bud Black said Thursday that Marquez will not return from the 15-day injured list this season after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right elbow, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.
Marquez made his way back from the IL shortly before the All-Star break after completing his recovery from May 2023 Tommy John surgery but lasted just one start before experiencing a setback with his surgically repaired elbow. The good news is that Marquez isn't dealing with any UCL damage, and the expectation is that he'll be ready to resume throwing in 6-to-8 weeks and have a normal offseason. Marquez is set to earn $10 million in 2025 in his final year under contract.

Rockies' German Marquez: Back to IL with elbow inflammation
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Marquez on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow inflammation.
After completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery, Marquez was cleared to return from the 60-day injured list July 14, but he made just one start before going back on the shelf with another elbow-related issue. The fact that the Rockies are classifying Marquez's injury as inflammation rather than a strain is encouraging, but he could still need more than the minimum 15 days to move past the issue. Noah Davis was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to replace Marquez on the active roster, and he could also be a candidate to slide into Marquez's spot in the rotation Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Rockies' German Marquez: Rusty in season debut
Rotowire
Marquez didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Mets, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks across four innings. He struck out three.
Marquez made his first MLB start since April 26, 2023, after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He threw 70 pitches before being pulled. The 28-year-old managed to keep the Mets off the scoreboard until the fourth frame but was hit hard in the fourth. He allowed five of the first six batters he faced in the inning to reach safely, including a two-run home run to Pete Alonso. Marquez walked Francisco Lindor with the bases loaded for the Mets' third run but was able to avoid further damage by getting Brandon Nimmo to ground out with the bases loaded and end the inning. Marquez has previously been a reliable fantasy option, but fantasy managers should proceed with caution considering the right-hander's lengthy absence. The Rockies will play six consecutive games at Coors Field coming out of the All-Star break, though it's unclear when exactly Marquez will pitch.

Rockies' German Marquez: Activated for first 2024 start
Rotowire
The Rockies reinstated Marquez (elbow) from the 60-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Mets.
He'll pick up his first start of the season and his first in the big leagues since April 26, 2023, now that he's completed his recovery from Tommy John surgery. Marquez wrapped up his seven-start minor-league rehab assignment on a high note Tuesday, when he struck out eight and allowed three runs on four hits and no walks over five innings for Double-A Hartford. Marquez will likely be capped at around 75 to 90 pitches in his 2024 Rockies debut, but he shouldn't face any major workload restrictions in his subsequent outings. During his last full season in the big leagues in 2022, Marquez turned in a 4.95 ERA and 1.37 WHIP while striking out 150 batters in 181.2 innings, so fantasy managers outside of deep leagues are probably best off taking a wait-and-see approach with the right-hander rather than immediately scooping him up off the waiver wire.

Rockies' German Marquez: Returning Sunday
Rotowire
Marquez (elbow) will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Mets, The Denver Post reports.
Sunday will mark Marquez's first time pitching in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2023. The 29-year-old made six rehab starts, posting a 6.23 ERA and 1.50 WHIP alongside a 23:4 K:BB across 17.1 innings between Colorado's minor-league affiliates. He's expected to throw 75-to-90 pitches during his season debut and will be matched up against a New York offense that ranks third in the NL with a .742 OPS.

Rockies' German Marquez: Completes sixth rehab start
Rotowire
Marquez (elbow) made the sixth start of his rehab assignment Thursday with Double-A Hartford, covering 3.2 innings and giving up two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out two.
According to MLB.com, Rockies manager Bud Black said Marquez's surgically repaired elbow came out fine following his latest rehab start, during which he built up to 69 pitches and hit 99 miles per hour with his fastball. Black suggested that Marquez will make one more rehab start with Hartford on Tuesday, and if all goes well, the right-hander's next outing will likely come with the big club. Marquez would line up for a start during the Rockies' final game before the All-Star break Sunday versus the Mets, but the organization may be more inclined to give him some extra time to recover from Tuesday's outing and wait until after the break before activating him from the 60-day injured list.

Rockies' German Marquez: Shifts rehab to Single-A
Rotowire
Marquez (elbow) struck out four and allowed six hits and no walks over 2.1 innings in a rehab start Sunday with Single-A Fresno.
Marquez resumed his minor-league rehab assignment Wednesday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League before moving up to the Rockies' Single-A affiliate three days later. While he was knocked around a bit and gave up two home runs among his six hits, Marquez at least exhibited solid control on the night, spotting 36 of his 52 pitches for strikes. The right-hander will likely need two or three more starts in the minors to get fully stretched out before the Rockies are comfortable activating him from the 60-day injured list and inserting him into the rotation. Marquez is working his way back from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent May 12, 2023.

Rockies' German Marquez: Appears in Complex League game
Rotowire
Marquez (elbow) gave up three earned runs on four hits and one walk over 1.2 innings in his first rehab start Friday with the Rockies' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate.
Marquez had been making appearances in extended spring training, but kicking off his rehab assignment in the ACL -- albeit in less-than-impressive fashion -- marks an important milestone in his recovery from the Tommy John surgery he underwent May 12, 2023. He'll continue to ramp up his pitch count in his subsequent rehab outings and could be ready to come off the 60-day IL around midseason.
