German Marquez flexed his right arm as he pointed to the small zipper scar near his elbow.
“I have a brand new arm,” Marquez said. “I’m ready for 10 more years.”
It’s all systems go for the Rockies’ 2021 All-Star pitcher who underwent Tommy John surgery last May. What seemed like a crushing blow for Marquez at the time now looks like a bump in the road. At least, that’s how Marquez sees it.
He’s on track to return to the rotation after the All-Star break and has begun throwing bullpen sessions during spring training, although he’s currently limited to a fastball-only program.
