Rockies' Márquez Diagnosed With Shoulder, Biceps Injury

Colorado Rockies pitcher Germán Márquez is now diagnosed with right shoulder tightness and biceps tendinitis, though an MRI revealed no structural damage. Márquez left his recent start after three innings and may be placed on the injured list as a precaution, putting his next appearance in doubt. He admitted to pitching through discomfort before the All-Star break, hoping rest would resolve the issue, but the pain persisted. This setback comes as the Rockies consider their options ahead of the July 31 trade deadline, with Márquez a pending free agent and possible trade candidate. His 2025 season has been disappointing, with a 3-11 record and 5.67 ERA over 20 starts. Several Triple-A pitchers are being considered to fill his spot if he is sidelined.
