Rockies' German Marquez: Likely to go on IL
Rotowire
Marquez said Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with right biceps tendon inflammation and is likely to land on the injured list, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Marquez sustained the injury in his start in Sunday's loss to the Twins. The Rockies haven't provided a timeline for Marquez's return, but he'll likely be out for longer than the minimum 15 days. The Rockies plan to recall Tanner Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday to replace Marquez on the 26-man active roster and in the rotation.

Rockies' German Marquez: Lands on IL with biceps tendinitis
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Marquez on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right biceps tendinitis.
Marquez was removed from his latest start in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Twins due to the injury. He will be eligible to return Aug. 5, but given the nature of the injury and the Rockies' place in the standings, there's a good chance that the right-hander will be on the shelf beyond the minimum 15 days. Tanner Gordon was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move and will replace Marquez in the rotation.

Rockies' German Marquez: Undergoing MRI on shoulder
Rotowire
Marquez will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Marquez left Sunday's start against the Twins after yielding three runs on four hits and four walks across three innings of work. He struck out two and also surrendered his 13th home run of the season. Marquez was lifted after 58 pitches, admitting he couldn't fully extend at the end of his pitches, citing shoulder tightness. There's a chance the Rockies will skip Marquez's next scheduled start. His name has been thrown around in trade rumors ahead of next week's trade deadline.

Rockies' German Marquez: Battles shoulder issue Sunday
Rotowire
Marquez was lifted after three innings in his start in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Twins due to right shoulder inflammation, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. "I'm feeling a little bit of inflammation in the front of my shoulder," Marquez said after the game. "It started bugging me when I pitched in Cincinnati [on July 11] and I didn't recover well. I couldn't get hot. And my [velocity] was down, too."
Marquez dropped to 3-11 on the season Sunday, allowing three earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two in the 58-pitch outing. Though Marquez noted that he doesn't have a history of shoulder inflammation and hadn't yet had met with the Rockies' team trainer for further evaluation, the right-hander's availability for his next turn through the rotation next weekend in Baltimore is now up in the air. If Marquez requires a stint on the injured list, Triple-A Albuquerque starters Ryan Feltner, Chase Dollander, Tanner Gordon and Carson Palmquist would appear to be the main candidates to replace him in the rotation.

Rockies' German Marquez: Tagged for three runs in loss
Rotowire
Marquez (3-11) took the loss Sunday against Minnesota, surrendering three earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two over three innings.
Marquez struggled with command and efficiency Sunday, issuing four walks and allowing all three of his runs in a rough third inning capped off by a two-run homer to Matt Wallner. It marked just the second time in his last seven starts that the right-hander has allowed more than two runs, but his early exit showed signs of him reverting back to a frustrating trend during a difficult season. The 30-year-old now sports a 5.67 ERA and 1.64 WHIP through 98.1 innings. With losses in three of his last five outings, Marquez has failed to find a rhythm and remains an inconsistent arm.

Rockies' German Marquez: Sharp over six frames in no-decision
Rotowire
Marquez settled for a no-decision after working six innings, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out eight, during Friday's 3-2 win over the Reds.
Marquez rebounded from one of his worst starts of the season his last time out with one of his best. The 30-year-old struck out a season-high eight batters, bringing him up to 71 on the season in just over 95 innings pitched. The right-hander did surrender a home run, the fourth straight start in which he's done so, but that was the lone damage on the day. He'll enter the All-Star break on a high note and will look to continue to chip away at his ERA, now at 5.47, in the second half.

Rockies' German Marquez: Lit up by White Sox
Rotowire
Marquez (3-10) was charged with the loss Saturday against the White Sox after giving up six runs on 11 hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out two.
The only real positive from Marquez's outing Saturday was the length, as he tied a season high in hits allowed and struck out two or fewer for the sixth time this year. The veteran right-hander's 10 losses are tied for second most in MLB, while his 5.84 ERA is the worst among 70 qualified starters. Marquez lines up to pitch on the road in Cincinnati next weekend, but he's pretty clearly off the fantasy radar at this point.

Rockies' German Marquez: Tosses 5.2 frames in no-decision
Rotowire
Marquez allowed two runs on three hits and three walks over 5.2 innings in a no-decision Sunday at Milwaukee. He struck out five.
The only blemishes on the veteran right-hander's performance were two solo homers, and he allowed two or fewer earned runs for the fourth consecutive outing. Over that span, Marquez has pitched to a 1.33 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB across 20.1 frames while allowing three long balls. Through 83.1 total innings, the 30-year-old now sports a 5.62 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 61:27 K:BB. Marquez is currently slated to make his next start in Colorado's home series next weekend against the White Sox.

Rockies' German Marquez: Takes loss to Dodgers
Rotowire
Marquez (3-9) took the loss Tuesday against the Dodgers, allowing six unearned runs on six hits and no walks over four innings. He struck out six.
Marquez yielded three extra-base hits in the loss, but a pair of fourth-inning defensive errors saved the 30-year-old from being charged with any earned runs. Still, he allowed a three-run home run to Michael Conforto and had the Dodgers bat around the order as part of the six-run fourth inning. Marquez has allowed one earned run or zero in three straight starts, but he owns a 5.79 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 77.2 innings this season. He's slated for a start in Milwaukee on Sunday.
Rockies' German Marquez: Blanks Nats for third win
Rotowire
Marquez (3-8) earned the win Wednesday over the Nationals, allowing six hits and two walks over 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out two.
It was a strong effort from Marquez, who's allowed just one run over 10.2 innings in his last two starts. The right-hander's lowered his ERA to 6.11 with a 1.64 WHIP and 50:24 K:BB across 15 outings (73.2 innings) this season. Marquez is currently in line for a tough home matchup with the Dodgers in his next start.

Rockies' German Marquez: Season-high seven strikeouts
Rotowire
Marquez didn't factor into the decision Friday against Atlanta, giving up one run on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out seven.
Marquez was able to put together one of his finer performances amid what's been a rough season for him overall. The seven strikeouts represented a season high for the veteran right-hander, who pitched at least five innings while yielding one run or fewer for only the fourth time among his 14 outings. Marquez owns a poor 6.62 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 48:22 K:BB over 68 innings, so he still doesn't shape up as a recommended fantasy streamer in most cases his next time out against the Nationals.

Rockies' German Marquez: Gives up three homers in loss
Rotowire
Marquez (2-8) allowed four runs on eight hits and struck out three without walking a batter over five innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Mets.
Marquez allowed three of those four runs on solo home runs by Ronny Mauricio, Jared Young and Jeff McNeil. Prior to Saturday, Marquez had gone five starts (28 innings) without allowing a homer. He's given up a reasonable seven long balls across 13 starts this year, but he's also frequently gotten punished by balls that stayed in the yard, pitching to a 7.00 ERA. He's added a 1.68 WHIP and 41:21 K:BB over 63 innings as well, so Saturday's strong display of control shouldn't be considered the norm. Marquez is tentatively projected to make his next start at Atlanta.

Rockies' German Marquez: Named Saturday's starter
Rotowire
Marquez will start Saturday's game against the Mets.
Carson Palmquist had originally been lined up to start, but Marquez will get the ball instead Saturday. Per Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com, the change is due to a miscommunication rather than any sort of injury. Marquez last pitched Monday, so he'll be working on four days of rest.

Rockies' German Marquez: Rocky five innings in win
Rotowire
Marquez (2-7) picked up the win after allowing four runs, three of them earned, on nine hits and two walks while striking out six in five innings of work during Monday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.
It was a tough first two innings for Marquez, where he allowed all four of his runs, but he settled in after that and didn't allow a run despite traffic in each inning. The 30-year-old has strung together three solid starts in a row now, allowing just six earned runs over 18 innings of work (3.00 ERA). The right-hander is lined up to face the Mets on Sunday for his next start.
