Germán Márquez DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

According to Patrick Lyons of Just BB Media, Colorado Rockies pitchers German Marquez, Antonio Senzatela, and Lucas Gilbreath are healthy entering spring training. All three pitchers underwent Tommy John surgery during the 2023 campaign. Marquez was able to log four innings of work last season but then battled a stress reaction, which kept him sidelined for the remainder of the season. Senzatela made three starts during the final month of the season and held a hefty 6.57 ERA with a 1.86 WHIP. Gilbreath returned to the mound in August but then returned to the injured list shortly after with shoulder inflammation. Marquez was a reliable contributor to the starting rotation during the 2021 and 2022 seasons, where he logged 361 2/3 total innings. Marquez and Senzatela will likely have a role in the starting rotation in 2025, while Gilbreath will be deployed out of the bullpen.

Colorado Rockies right-hander German Marquez (elbow) has been shut down for the rest of the 2024 season after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right elbow. However, the good news is that there is no damage to the ligaments in his right arm. Marquez should be ready to throw in six to eight weeks, according to manager Bud Black, and will have a full offseason. The 29-year-old Venezuelan hurler worked his way back from Tommy John surgery last year but was only able to make one start in 2024 before being shut down with more elbow issues. In his lone start on July 14 against the New York Mets, Marquez gave up three earned runs while walking four and fanning three in four innings. Barring further setbacks this offseason, Marquez should be ready for spring training in 2025, but fantasy managers in mixed leagues can ignore him.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (elbow) has thrown two bullpen sessions since returning to the injured list in late July. Marquez returned to the bump on July 14 after his long recovery from Tommy John but, unfortunately, was diagnosed with elbow inflammation. Manager Bud Black expressed that the 29-year-old will need to log one more successful bullpen session before embarking on a rehab assignment. Marquez has been limited by several injuries over the past two seasons but hopes to return to a full-time role hopefully before the end of the month. Marquez could be worth stashing in deeper leagues as he should have a secure spot in the rotation once he returns.
