DENVER — The Colorado Rockies announced last night that they have promoted RHP Germen Marquez to Triple-A Albuquerque. Marquez was acquired in the trade that saw Corey Dickerson and Kevin Padlo go to Tampa Bay and also saw Jake McGee come to Colorado.
In 21 starts for Double-A Hartford this season, Marquez posted a 2.85 ERA over 135.2 innings while striking out over eight per nine innings and walking just over two.
The club announced this morning that outfielder and renowned hitting genius Raimel Tapia will be joining Marquez in Albuquerque.
