Germán Márquez DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Colorado Rockies right-hander German Marquez pitched well but took the loss in his team's 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Marquez allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits over seven innings while striking out five and walking two. He saw his record fall to 1-7, to go along with a 7.66 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, and 26 strikeouts over 47 innings of work this season. That being said, Marquez has allowed just one earned run in two of his past three starts. He still can't be trusted in any fantasy league, but it is worth monitoring him in case he strings together a few more productive outings.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez was able to earn his first win of the season during Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. Marquez took an 0-6 record with a 9.90 ERA into Sunday's contest against a tough Padres lineup. Despite that, Marquez was sharp as he tossed seven strong innings, allowing one earned run on three hits, while striking out two batters in the win. It has a positive outing from Marquez who has been awful throughout most of his starts. He'll hope to carry this momentum into his next start against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Fantasy managers can leave Marquez on the waiver wire until he proves he can do it again.

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.
