Marquez (forearm) threw live batting practice Thursday, and his next step will be a minor-league rehab appearance, per MLB.com.
Marquez last saw game action May 1, when he allowed seven runs over five innings in a loss against the White Sox. The veteran hurler landed on the injured list two days later due to right forearm nerve irritation, but he was able to resume a throwing program in mid-May. It appears Marquez is now just about ready to take part in a rehab stint, though it's unclear how many appearances he'll need before he's ready to be activated.

Padres' German Marquez: Resumes throwing
Rotowire
Marquez (forearm) has begun a throwing program, per MLB.com.
Marquez has been on the shelf since getting roughed up in a start versus the White Sox on May 1. He was subsequently diagnosed with right forearm nerve irritation and landed on the 15-day IL. Marquez's ability to begin throwing suggests that he's showing improvement, though he's not expected to return to the Padres until at least June.

Padres' German Marquez: Expected to resume throwing soon
Rotowire
Marquez (forearm) is scheduled to begin a throwing program in mid-May, per MLB.com.
Marquez landed on the injured list May 3 following a rough outing two days earlier. If all goes to plan, he'll have had about two weeks of rest before he begins a throwing program. Marquez will likely need considerable time to build back up, so he probably won't be ready to be activated until at least early June.

Padres' German Marquez: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Padres placed Marquez on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right forearm nerve irritation.
Marquez surrendered seven runs over five innings in his most recent start Friday against the White Sox and will now spend at least the next couple weeks on the IL. Griffin Canning (Achilles) was reinstated from the IL in a corresponding move and will take Marquez's spot in the rotation beginning with Sunday's series finale versus Chicago.

Padres' German Marquez: Hit hard in loss
Rotowire
Marquez (3-2) allowed seven runs on five hits and five walks while striking out two over five innings to take the loss versus the White Sox on Friday.
Marquez got lit up in the second inning, as the White Sox tagged him for six runs in the frame, including a three-run home run by Munetaka Murakami. Colson Montgomery added a solo shot in the fifth to make this the third time Marquez has allowed multiple homers in a start. Interestingly, all of those multi-homer outings have come at spacious Petco Park. Marquez is at a 5.76 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB across 29.2 innings through six starts this season. His next outing is tentatively projected to be on the road in San Francisco.

Padres' German Marquez: Nabs win against former club
Rotowire
Marquez (2-1) earned the win over Colorado on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five innings.
Marquez was far from sharp, especially in terms of allowing the long ball -- the Rockies knocked three homers against him. However, he pitched just well enough (and just deep enough) to pick up his second straight victory thanks to a breakout performance by San Diego's offense. Marquez tossed five scoreless frames in his previous start April 6 versus Pittsburgh, but in his other two outings he's allowed a combined eight runs (including five homers) across eight innings. He's projected to next take the mound on the road against the Angels.

Padres' German Marquez: Works his way out of trouble in win
Rotowire
Marquez (1-1) earned the win Monday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings.
Marquez navigated traffic throughout the outing, escaping jams in multiple innings to keep Pittsburgh off the board. The righty stranded runners at the corners in both the second and third innings, highlighted by a key strikeout of Ryan O'Hearn on his fastest pitch of the day at 95 mph. It was a much sharper outing compared to his season debut, where Marquez allowed four runs over three innings against San Francisco. The win snapped a 12-start stretch without a victory (0-9), marking the 31-year-old's first win since June 18. Marquez will look to ride this momentum into his next start, scheduled against a Rockies lineup that has had trouble scoring runs so far in 2026.

Padres' German Marquez: Knocked around in Padres debut
Rotowire
Marquez (0-1) took the loss against San Francisco on Tuesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out one batter over three innings.
Marquez finished spring with a pair of promising outings, but he couldn't carry over any momentum into his first start of the regular season. The veteran right-hander gave up three runs in the first inning and another in the third, and he needed 65 pitches to get through three frames. Marquez gave up a whopping eight hits (including two homers and a double) during his short time on the mound, and his final line could have been even worse had he not escaped a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the second. Marquez is filling a spot at the end of San Diego's rotation for the time being, but he'll likely need to pitch much better to keep a starting role once Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Griffin Canning (Achilles) are ready to return to action.

Padres' German Marquez: Fans nine in spring start
Rotowire
Marquez allowed three runs on three hits and a walk while striking out nine over five innings in a Cactus League start against Seattle on Tuesday.
Marquez had his swing-and-miss stuff working, as he racked up 13 whiffs among his 78 pitches. It wasn't all good news for the veteran hurler -- he gave up two homers -- but this was easily his best start of the spring. Marquez still has a poor 9.26 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over four outings spanning 11.2 frames in exhibition play, though his strong performance Tuesday may have solidified his place in San Diego's Opening Day rotation, which will be missing Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Griffin Canning (Achilles).

Rockies' German Marquez: Ends season on sour note
Rotowire
Marquez (3-16) allowed six runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Giants.
Marquez was hit hard early, as Willy Adames hit a two-run home run in the first inning and Heliot Ramos added a three-run blast in the second. Marquez lost eight of his last 11 starts this season and allowed 50 runs (44 earned) over 52.1 innings in that span. Overall, he wasn't much better, finishing 2025 with a 6.70 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 83:48 K:BB across 126.1 innings over 26 starts. While he avoided a season-ending injury this year, his poor numbers -- the worst he's had in a full season in his career -- will likely lead to a tepid free-agent market for the right-hander.

Rockies' German Marquez: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
Marquez (3-15) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Angels.
This was one of Marquez's best starts of the year, but it went unrewarded as the Rockies failed to generate any run support. He still allowed a pair of home runs, which were solo shots by Taylor Ward and Nolan Schanuel. Marquez has lost four of five starts since returning from biceps tendinitis, and he's allowed 26 runs over 23.2 innings in that span. For the season, he's at a 6.49 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 82:45 K:BB through 122 innings across 25 starts. The right-hander's last start of the season is projected to be at San Francisco.

Rockies' German Marquez: Chased early Sunday
Rotowire
Marquez (3-14) allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over 2.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Padres.
Marquez's last two starts have come on the road, but he's allowed a combined 12 runs (11 earned) over 7.1 innings in those games. The right-hander gave up three runs in each of the first two frames and continued to labor before Roansy Contreras relieved him in the third. On the year, Marquez has an awful 6.65 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 77:44 K:BB through 115 innings over 24 starts. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Angels in his next outing.

Rockies' German Marquez: Poor showing in 13th loss
Rotowire
Marquez (3-13) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.
Marquez allowed scoring plays in each of the second through fifth innings. He allowed the opening run on a wild pitch and allowed two home runs for the third time in his last eight appearances. Marquez hasn't looked comfortable since returning from right biceps tendinitis, allowing 17 runs over 14.1 innings across three starts since his activation. He's at a 6.31 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 77:42 K:BB across 112.2 innings through 23 starts this season. The right-hander is tentatively projected to make a road start versus the Padres this weekend.

The Rockies reinstated Marquez (biceps) from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Cubs.
Marquez will return from nearly a five-week absence due to right biceps tendinitis. The veteran right-hander worked up to 76 pitches in his last minor-league rehab start, and he should be cleared to handle a full workload. Marquez has a better ERA at Coors Field (5.31) than he does on the road (5.95) this season.

Rockies' German Marquez: Returning from IL on Friday
Rotowire
The Rockies will activate Marquez (biceps) from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Cubs at Coors Field, MLB.com reports.
Marquez has been on the shelf since July 23 due to right biceps tendinitis, but he was cleared to rejoin the Colorado rotation after he completed a bullpen session Wednesday without incident.

He most recently pitched for Albuquerque on Sunday, striking out seven and allowing two earned runs on five hits and one walk over 4.1 innings (76 pitches). To make room for Marquez in the rotation, Colorado moved Antonio Senzatela to the bullpen earlier this week.

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.
