Back to IL with elbow inflammation
The Rockies placed Marquez on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow inflammation.
ANALYSIS
After completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery, Marquez was cleared to return from the 60-day injured list July 14, but he made just one start before going back on the shelf with another elbow-related issue. The fact that the Rockies are classifying Marquez's injury as inflammation rather than a strain is encouraging, but he could still need more than the minimum 15 days to move past the issue. Noah Davis was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to replace Marquez on the active roster, and he could also be a candidate to slide into Marquez's spot in the rotation Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
2018
2017
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.

Well-earned nod
Marquez earned the nod as the Rockies' Opening Day starter after recording a sparkling 0.53 ERA over 17.0 innings in Cactus League.
ANALYSIS
Marquez' spring performance is encouraging, but expectations should be tempered. Marquez was burned by the long ball last season, allowing 30 home runs -- tied for fourth most in the league. His hard-hit percentage allowed of 47.2 percent ranked among the worst in baseball. He also posted the lowest strikeout rate of any full season in his career. Even if he bounces back, Marquez is best viewed as a streamer when on the road.
