Germán Márquez - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Latches on with Twins on MiLB deal The Twins signed Marquez to a minor-league contract Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Marquez was released by the Padres last week after collecting a 5.26 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 37:24 K:BB over 53 innings covering 10 starts and three relief outings. The 31-year-old will give the Twins a depth rotation option at Triple-A St. Paul.

Removed from 40-man roster The Padres designated Marquez for assignment Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact With Robbie Ray coming over from the Giants during Monday's trade deadline, the Padres DFA'd Marquez. The 31-year-old last appeared Tuesday, when he allowed four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one in an inning of work. After just 13 appearances with San Diego, Marquez will look to find a new team once he clears waivers.

Secures five-inning save Marquez allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over five shutout innings in relief, earning the save in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

Impact The Padres used Bradgley Rodriguez and Yuki Matsui over the first four innings before Marquez came on for a lengthy relief appearance. Marquez through 43 of 70 pitches for strikes en route to the first save of his major-league career. The workload suggests he can handle a starting role if the Padres return to using him in that capacity -- he had allowed six runs over 9.1 innings across his previous three starts. Marquez has posted a 4.67 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 36:23 K:BB through 52 innings over 12 games (10 starts) this season. He'll be at full rest to take the hill in the back half of next week's series in Arizona.

Likely to pitch in bulk relief Marquez is likely to work multiple innings in relief behind opening pitcher Bradgley Rodriguez in Friday's game against the Giants, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan San Diego reports.

Impact Rodriguez has covered exactly one inning in each of his previous three starts this season, so he'll likely be in line to work the opening frame again Friday before the Padres turn the game over to the bullpen. The freshest arm in the bullpen, Marquez will be available on six days' rest and should be capable of giving the Padres some length after starting in each of his last four appearances. He went 1-0 with a 3.77 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB in 14.1 innings during that stretch.

Allows homer in no-decision Marquez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-2 win over Miami, allowing one run on three hits while striking out four over just 2.1 innings.

Impact Marquez left the game after just 37 pitches, one out into the third inning with the Padres trailing 1-0. The 31-year-old allowed just one run courtesy of a solo homer by Joe Mack in the second. On the season, Marquez now possesses a 5.17 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 34:22 K:BB in 47 innings.

Short outing in no-decision Marquez did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over three innings.

Impact Marquez was staked an early lead but departed at just 59 pitches after loading the bases and failing to record an out in the fourth inning. The 31-year-old has yielded three or fewer earned runs in each of his four July outings (three starts), though he's completed five frames just once during that span. He owns a 5.24 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 30:22 K:BB across 44.2 innings this season and lines up to face the Marlins on the road next weekend.

Allows two homers in no-decision Marquez did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over four innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out four.

Impact Marquez allowed all three of his runs via the long ball, surrendering a solo homer to Nathan Lukes in the first inning before Ernie Clement connected for a two-run shot in the fourth frame. Marquez has made three appearances (two starts) since returning from the injured list due to a forearm injury, posting a 3.75 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 9:8 K:BB across 12 innings. The veteran right-hander will take a 4-2 record with a 5.18 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 28:20 K:BB across 41.2 innings (nine appearances) into the All-Star break.

Making another start Sunday Marquez is slated to start Sunday's game against the Blue Jays at Petco Park.

Impact Though he had been expected to be deployed as more of an opener during his previous start Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Marquez ended up working five innings and tossing 82 pitches in the Padres' 4-1 win. The veteran right-hander yielded just one unearned run in the victory, striking out four while scattering three hits and three walks. His overall numbers on the season (5.02 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 24:18 K:BB in 37.2 innings) still leave much to be desired, so despite coming off of a strong performance, Marquez won't make for the most dependable streaming option Sunday.

Logs victory Tuesday Marquez (4-2) earned the win over Arizona on Tuesday, allowing an unearned run on three hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.

Impact Marquez threw just 56 pitches over three innings out of the bullpen in his return from a forearm injury last Thursday, so it wasn't clear how much depth he'd be able to give San Diego on Tuesday. The veteran hurler ended up covering five frames on 82 pitches, 51 of which were strikes. That he was able to go long enough to qualify for the win was especially notable given how poorly his outing started; Marquez needed 32 pitches to get through a first inning that began with three consecutive Diamondbacks hitters reaching base. Meanwhile, Jhony Brito, who was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday and was expected to work in bulk relief ended up throwing just 17 pitches across 1.2 perfect frames. It remains to be seen how San Diego will deploy the two hurlers moving forward, and it's possible they'll work in some sort of a piggyback situation the next time the rotation spot comes up, presumably this Sunday versus Toronto.

Struggles in return Marquez allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out one batter over three relief innings against the Dodgers on Thursday.

Impact Marquez was activated from the injured list ahead of Thursday's contest following a two-month absence caused by a forearm injury. The veteran hurler entered in the sixth inning with San Diego trailing 10-6. Marquez threw 35 of 56 pitches for strikes but issued three walks on the way to allowing a pair of runs. Randy Vasquez started for San Diego but lasted just three innings, and he had a fainting episode after exiting while on his way to get X-rays for a possible ankle injury. If Vasquez ends up needing to miss time, Marquez -- who threw six more pitches than Vasquez on Thursday -- could be called upon to re-enter the rotation.

Returning from forearm injury The Padres reinstated Marquez (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Impact The Padres have Marquez returning healthy as the they place Jason Adam on the 15-day injured list due to a right shoulder sprain. Marquez was placed on the 15-day injured list May 3 due to right forearm nerve irritation, which ended up costing him two months.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches in relief again at Triple-A Marquez (forearm) recorded two outs and allowed three earned runs on three hits and one walk during his rehab appearance Tuesday with Triple-A El Paso.

Impact Marquez kicked off his rehab assignment July 2 and started in each of his first four appearances for El Paso, maxing out at five innings and 73 pitches. While his usage seemed to indicate that the Padres were considering Marquez for a spot in the rotation upon his return from the 15-day injured list, the veteran righty now appears to be preparing for a bullpen role. He's worked in relief in his last two outings for El Paso, striking out three while allowing four runs on six hits and three walks in 2.1 innings between those contests. Marquez's 30-day rehab window officially came to a close Wednesday, so the Padres could look to activate him at some point during their upcoming four-game series with the Dodgers.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Making another rehab start Marquez (forearm) will make another rehab start with Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Marquez had been scheduled to pitch for El Paso on Sunday, but he was a healthy scratch because he was under consideration to start for the Padres on Monday. However, that assignment will go to Griffin Canning, and Marquez will continue his rehab assignment. Working his way back from right forearm nerve irritation, Marquez has authored a 2.12 ERA and 13:7 K:BB over 17 innings thus far on his rehab assignment. The Padres will need to make a roster decision on Marquez following Tuesday's outing, as his 30-day rehab window is slated to run out soon.

JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE

Could be in mix to pitch Monday Marquez (forearm) didn't make his scheduled rehab start Sunday with Triple-A El Paso and could return from the 15-day injured list to appear Monday in the Padres' series opener aga...

Impact Marquez had already made five rehab appearances (four starts) with El Paso this month, building up to as many five innings and 73 pitches back on June 17. Though he had been scheduled to start Sunday, Marquez ended up working out of the El Paso bullpen in his most recent appearance Tuesday, when he struck out three and allowed one run over 1.2 innings. The Padres seem to be keeping their options open with Marquez's role for when he returns, but if he's activated Monday, he'll most likely be deployed as a starter -- albeit on a limited pitch count -- or a bulk reliever. Griffin Canning is also available on five days' rest and could be part of Monday's pitching plan.

JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE

Hits five innings in rehab start Marquez (forearm) struck out three and allowed three earned runs on five hits and three walks across five innings in a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A El Paso.

Impact Making what was his fourth rehab start with El Paso, Marquez built up to 73 pitches (43 strikes) and induced seven swings and misses. The right-hander has looked sharp throughout his assignment, compiling a 1.76 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB in 15.1 innings. Marquez looks ready to return from the 15-day injured list during the upcoming week, and while the Padres haven't revealed their plans for the 31-year-old, he would be a logical choice to replace the struggling Griffin Canning (6.64 ERA, 1.57 WHIP over 42 innings) when his next turn in the rotation comes up Tuesday versus Atlanta at Petco Park.
