GERMÁN MÁRQUEZ NEWS

Pushed to 60-day IL Marquez (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact Marquez has already been ruled out for the 2024 season, but Friday's transaction will open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Luis Peralta's call-up. Marquez suffered a stress reaction in his right elbow just one start after returning from Tommy John surgery in July.

Will not return this season Rockies manager Bud Black said Thursday that Marquez will not return this season after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right elbow, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marquez made his way back from Tommy John surgery but lasted just one start before going back on the injured list last month with more elbow issues. The good news is there's nothing wrong with his UCL this time around, 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.

Impact Marquez threw a 34-pitch bullpen session Thursday and mixed in his entire arsenal. He'll likely engage in a similar workout over the weekend and looks to be on track to be back at some point in early August.

Back to IL with elbow inflammation The Rockies placed Marquez on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow inflammation, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Marquez just made his season debut last week for the Rockies after working his way back from Tommy John surgery. It's not clear at this point how big of a setback this is, but certainly there has to be some level of concern given that the injury is to his pitching elbow. Noah Davis is taking Marquez's spot on the roster and is also a candidate to slide into his rotation spot Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Rusty in season debut 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.

Impact 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, and 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.

Activated for first 2024 start The Rockies reinstated Marquez (elbow) from the 60-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact 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.

Returning Sunday Marquez (elbow) will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Mets, The Denver Post reports.

Impact Sunday will mark Marquez's first time pitching in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2023. The 29-year-old has made six rehab starts since mid-June, during which he posted a 6.23 ERA and 1.50 WHIP alongside a 23:4 K:BB through 17.1 innings between each of 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.

Impact 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.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Set for two more rehab starts Manager Bud Black said Wednesday that Marquez (elbow) will make two more rehab starts with Double-A Hartford, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Marquez struggled heavily in his latest rehab outing at Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, allowing four earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning and throwing just 33 pitches. The 29-year-old righty was originally slated for just one additional start after Friday, but his abbreviated appearance will cause the Rockies to add another game to his rehab stint, ruling him out for a return to Colorado before the All-Star break. Since restarting his assignment June 12, Marquez has allowed eight earned runs in 8.2 innings while striking out 13 batters and walking three.

Inks two-year extension Colorado signed Marquez to a two-year contract extension on Friday.

Impact This new deal will cover the 2024-2025 seasons, so Marquez is no longer an impending free agent and now carries some financial security into the remaining several months of his rehabilitation from Tommy John surgery. He underwent the reconstructive elbow procedure in May of this year and is not expected to return to a major-league mound until the second half of the 2024 campaign. The 28-year-old right-hander owns a 4.41 ERA in 1,016 career big-league innings, all with the Rockies. His career ERA away from Coors Field is 3.80.
