Settles for no-decision Saturday Marquez took a no-decision Saturday against the Angels, allowing no runs on two hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

Impact The veteran right-hander put together his longest outing of the year in what was also arguably his finest effort of 2026 so far. He surrendered a season-low two hits, also matching a season high in punchouts. Marquez has worked his way back into fantasy relevance following a couple of tough recent seasons in Colorado, posting a respectable 3.86 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB over 18.2 innings for the Padres this year. His next start tentatively projects to come versus Arizona.

Nabs win against former club Marquez (2-1) earned the win over Colorado on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five innings.

Impact Marquez was far from sharp, especially in terms of allowing the long ball -- the Rockies knocked three homers against him. However, he pitched just well enough (and just deep enough) to pick up his second straight victory thanks to a breakout performance by San Diego's offense. Marquez tossed five scoreless frames in his previous start April 6 versus Pittsburgh, but in his other two outings he's allowed a combined eight runs (most of which have come via five homers) across eight innings. He's projected to next take the mound on the road against the Angels.

Works his way out of trouble in win Marquez (1-1) earned the win Monday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings.

Impact Marquez navigated traffic throughout the outing, escaping jams in multiple innings to keep Pittsburgh off the board. The righty stranded runners at the corners in both the second and third innings, highlighted by a key strikeout of Ryan O'Hearn on his fastest pitch of the day at 95 mph. It was a much sharper outing compared to his season debut, where Marquez allowed four runs over three innings against San Francisco. The win snapped a 12-start stretch without a victory (0-9), marking the 31-year-old's first win since June 18. Marquez will look to ride this momentum into his next start, scheduled against a Rockies lineup that has had trouble scoring runs so far in 2026.

Knocked around in Padres debut Marquez (0-1) took the loss against San Francisco on Tuesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out one batter over three innings.

Impact Marquez finished spring with a pair of promising outings, but he couldn't carry over any momentum into his first start of the regular season. The veteran right-hander gave up three runs in the first inning and another in the third, and he needed 65 pitches to get through three frames. Marquez gave up a whopping eight hits (including two homers and a double) during his short time on the mound, and his final line could have been even worse had he not escaped a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the second frame. Marquez is filling a spot at the end of San Diego's rotation for the time being, but he'll likely need to pitch much better to keep a starting role once Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Griffin Canning (Achilles) are ready to return to action.

MARCH 26 • Associated Press

Piles up punchouts again Monday Marquez hurled 4.2 innings in an exhibition start against Seattle on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight batters.

Impact Marquez actually worked as a reliever Monday, though he followed opener Kyle Hart after just one inning. Marquez logged a starter's workload with 81 pitches, and he racked up a whopping 22 whiffs -- 18 of which came on his knuckle curve. The veteran pitcher hasn't been a big strikeout guy in recent seasons, and he's averaged less than a punchout per inning every year since 2019, but over his final two spring outings he's racked up 17 strikeouts across 9.2 frames. It remains to be seen if Marquez has rediscovered something in his arsenal or if he's just thriving in the atmosphere of exhibition games, but he seems to be headed for a role in San Diego's Opening Day rotation, and there's suddenly a reason to at least consider his name at the end of fantasy drafts in deep leagues.

Fans nine in spring start Marquez allowed three runs on three hits and a walk over five innings while striking out nine batters in a Cactus League start against Seattle on Tuesday.

Impact Marquez had his swing-and-miss stuff working, as he racked up 13 whiffs among his 78 pitches. It wasn't all good news for the veteran hurler -- he gave up two homers -- but this was easily his best start of the spring. Marquez still has a poor 9.26 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over four outings spanning 11.2 frames in exhibition play, though his strong performance Tuesday may have solidified his place in San Diego's Opening Day rotation, which will be missing Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Griffin Canning (Achilles).

Latches on with Padres Marquez signed a one-year contract with the Padres on Saturday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Marquez struggled mightily during his first season back from Tommy John surgery, finishing 2025 with an unsightly 6.70 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over 126.1 innings. Leaving the pitcher-unfriendly environment of Colorado will help to improve the 30-year-old's performance, but he still likely faces an uphill battle to make the Padres' rotation and could be moved to the bullpen.

Ends season on sour note Marquez (3-16) allowed six runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Giants.

Impact Marquez was hit hard early, as Willy Adames hit a two-run home run in the first inning and Heliot Ramos added a three-run blast in the second. Marquez lost eight of his last 11 starts this season and allowed 50 runs (44 earned) over 52.1 innings in that span. Overall, he wasn't much better, finishing 2025 with a 6.70 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 83:48 K:BB across 126.1 innings over 26 starts. While he avoided a season-ending injury this year, his poor numbers -- the worst he's had in a full season in his career -- will likely lead to a tepid free-agent market for the right-hander.
