German Marquez Expected To Make Two More Rehab Starts
5 months agoColorado Rockies manager Bud Black expects right-hander German Marquez (elbow) to make two more minor-league rehab starts with Double-A Hartford as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery. Marquez gave up four earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning while throwing 33 pitches in his last rehab start on Friday for Triple-A Albuquerque. After that outing, the 29-year-old will now need two more starts in the minors to build his pitch count up before the Rockies are comfortable adding him to their starting rotation for the second half of the season. Marquez started his rehab assignment on June 12 and has allowed a total of eight earned runs while striking out 13 and walking three in 8 2/3 innings. Fantasy managers will want to temper expectations when he returns to the majors, but Marquez could have some deep-league streaming appeal.
