GERMÁN MÁRQUEZ NEWS

Lands on 15-day injured list Marquez was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Rockies on Wednesday with a right forearm strain, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Marquez had to exit Monday's outing with the injury. The good news is he doesn't have any structural damage and could have a shot to return when first eligible or close to it. Noah Davis seems to be the most likely candidate to take Marquez's spot in the Rockies' rotation.

MRI reveals no significant injury An MRI revealed that Marquez has a right forearm strain but no structural damage, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marquez was removed from Monday's start after five innings while pointing to his forearm, and while this all but confirms that the right-hander will be placed on the injured list, it's a positive development that he's avoided a more significant injury. The Rockies will likely announce a roster move involving Marquez's replacement before Wednesday's game.

Likely to have MRI Rockies manager Bud Black suggested that Marquez will likely undergo an MRI on his right forearm Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Impact Marquez made an early exit from his start Monday night against the Cardinals after experiencing some forearm tightness while warming up before the top of the sixth inning. Black called the early departure "precautionary" but added that the 28-year-old right-hander would have to be reevaluated Tuesday, possibly with imaging scans. More should be known soon enough as to the severity of the injury.

Serves up three homers Marquez (1-1) allowed four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four across 5.1 innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Marquez served up three homers, which accounted for all four of the earned runs against him. He wasn't particularly sharp otherwise, as only 54 of his 95 pitches went for strikes, and he generated only 10 swinging strikes. Marquez has had a pair of tough matchups against the Padres and Dodgers to begin the season, though he has maintained a respectable 1.06 WHIP and posted a 9:2 K:BB across 11.1 innings to this point.

Earns Opening Day win Marquez (1-0) earned the win Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks over six innings in a 7-2 victory over San Diego. He struck out five.

Impact Marquez quieted an intimidating Padres lineup, allowing just five hits. Though three of those knocks went for extra bases, Marquez was able to get through six frames having yielded just a pair of runs. The right-hander threw 57 of 87 pitches for strikes and carried over the momentum from a strong spring during which he allowed just one run over 17 frames. Marquez's Opening Day performance may have fantasy managers feeling intrigued, but it's worth remembering that he posted an ugly 6.70 ERA on his home field last season.

Earns Opening Day nod Marquez has been announced as the Rockies' Opening Day starter, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marquez will take the ball on March 30 at Petco Park against the Padres. The right-hander is looking for a bounce-back showing in 2023 after he posted a disappointing 4.90 ERA and 1.37 WHIP across 181.2 innings in 2022.

Sharp in second spring appearance Marquez allowed two hits and struck out seven with no walks across four scoreless innings in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Cubs.

Impact The outing was Marquez's second start of the spring, and he managed to double his workload. He now has thrown six scoreless innings while racking up an impressive 9:1 K:BB during the exhibition season. Marquez struggled to an ugly 4.90 ERA and 1.37 WHIP across 181.2 innings in 2022, but he's still a lock for the Colorado rotation and should account for plenty of innings if he can remain healthy.

Making spring debut Saturday Marquez (hamstring) is set to make his Cactus League debut Saturday against the Mariners, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact He'll do so in a piggyback role after Saturday's starter Kyle Freeland, which is fairly custom in spring training games. Marquez tweaked his left hamstring in mid-February and had to bow out of the World Baseball Classic, but all signs point to him being fully cleared for the beginning of the 2023 regular season.

Completes BP session Marquez (hamstring) threw a two-inning live batting practice Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marquez has been dealing with soreness in his left hamstring, but he was able to get in the work on Tuesday, and Harding reports that the right-hander will be able to see action in a Cactus league game "within days." At this point, it does not appear that Marquez is in danger of missing any time in the regular season, but fantasy managers will want to keep track of his progress over the next few weeks.

Slated for live batting practice Marquez (hamstring) will throw live batting practice Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marquez came into camp with a sore left hamstring, but he's been going through workouts the last several days with no issues and is now ready to test things out against hitters. The veteran right-hander will probably need another week or so before he's ready for game action.

Feels good after jogging Monday Marquez (hamstring) did some jogging Monday and felt good, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Marquez suffered a left hamstring strain just before arriving to Rockies camp in Arizona, but he made it through a bullpen session without issue over the weekend and appears to be catching back up rather quickly. All current indications suggest that he will be ready for the beginning of the 2023 regular season. Look for him to begin pitching in Cactus League games around early-to-mid March.

Completes side session Marquez (hamstring) completed a bullpen session Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though Marquez opted out of pitching for the Venezuelan team in the World Baseball Classic after experiencing a sore left hamstring shortly after reporting to Rockies camp, his ability to resume throwing off a mound suggests the injury won't do much to derail his preparation for the 2023 season. The Rockies could continue to take things slowly with Marquez in the spring as a precaution, but once he's cleared to pitch in the Cactus League or in an intrasquad game, he can probably be considered good to go for Opening Day. Despite coming off a down 2022 campaign in which he turned in a 4.95 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 181.2 innings, Marquez likely still profiles as the Rockies' top starting pitcher from a fantasy perspective.

Does light running Marquez (hamstring) did some light running Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marquez is dealing with a minor hamstring issue which prevented him from joining Venezuela's roster for the first round of the World Baseball Classic. He has plenty of time to be ready by Opening Day, however, and he hasn't even been ruled out for subsequent stages of the international tournament.

Out for WBC with hamstring injury Marquez will no longer pitch for his native Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic after tweaking his left hamstring, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact The good news is that while Marquez will hold off throwing bullpen sessions for a bit, the injury is not expected to affect his availability for Opening Day. Marquez is coming off a disappointing 2022 season for the Rockies, having posted a 4.95 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 150:63 K:BB over 181.2 innings.

Fans eight in win Marquez (9-13) earned the win during Sunday's 4-1 victory over the Dodgers, allowing one run on one hit and three walks with eight strikeouts in six innings.

Impact Marquez was provided an early lead and surrendered his lone run in the third inning on a Cody Bellinger sacrifice fly following a walk and single. The 27-year-old induced an impressive 14 swinging strikes on 86 pitches en route to a season-high eight strikeouts while his 71 game score represented his third-best mark. Marquez concludes the campaign with an even 5.00 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 150 strikeouts in 181.2 innings across 31 starts.
