Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
For years, Marquez was a pitcher fantasy players longed to see get a chance outside of Colorado, as his park-adjusted numbers were quite strong. That changed last season. Marquez managed an ERA- of 88 through the end of 2021, but that number spiked to 108 last year as his ERA jumped to 5.00. His 1.49 HR/9 effectively tied his career-worst mark of 1.50, set back in 2019, but his struggles went beyond just the long ball. His strikeout rate fell by four points to 19.3%, while his groundball rate dipped to a merely above-average 47.6%, his lowest mark since 2018. Toss in a merely average 8.1 BB% and you get a pitcher who would be fine but forgettable on most teams and a potential disaster in Denver. If you can justify giving a roster spot to Marquez while only ever using him on the road, you could be in fine shape, as his 6.70 home ERA last season came with a 3.43 road ERA, but expecting anything more than that may be unwise.

Moved to 60-day IL
The Rockies placed Marquez (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Friday.
ANALYSIS
Marquez underwent Tommy John surgery last week, so a trip to the 60-day IL was inevitable. He will be shut down for the rest of the season and likely won't return until the back half of the 2024 campaign, although it's not entirely clear who he might be pitching for by then -- the Rockies hold a $16 million club option for 2023 on Marquez, which they could decline even if they then end up re-signing him to a more team-friendly deal.

2017
Marquez is one of the league's best starters, but he makes half his starts in Colorado where he can get BABIP'd to death. Over his career, he has a 3.85 ERA and .285 BABIP on the road and at home those numbers jump to 4.73 and .330, respectively. Last season, the narrative got turned on its head a bit. The big difference was his 57.7 GB% at home (0.8 HR/9) compared to a 43.9 GB% (1.4 HR/9) on the road. The discrepancy seemed to be based primarily on him pitching low in the zone at home and high on the road since his pitch mix was nearly identical. Maybe he should just throw low in the zone all the time since he's one of the few starters with two pitches boasting a 20% or higher swinging-strike rate. Due to his home field and nonexistent offense, Marquez won't be worth the hassle for many, but there is value to be extracted here if you pick your spots right.
