Last week I wrote about the idea that the success of the 2023 Colorado Rockies rests mainly on the performance of their starting rotation. After two turns through the rotation everyone, aside from José Ureña, has now turned in at least one serviceable/solid outing. It’s all a mixed bag of results but Rockies fans held their breath in worry after Germán Márquez left his start on Monday with some sort of right forearm injury.
Luckily, there isn’t any major damage, and is more of a strain, but this injury is worrisome because it would leave an already fragile rotation even more vulnerable should Márquez end up having to miss any significant amount of time on the injured list.
