The Colorado Rockies' pitcher Germán Márquez is set to return from Tommy John surgery on Sunday, marking his first major league start since April 26, 2023. Márquez, who has been rehabbing in the minors, will face the New York Mets and is expected to throw between 75 and 90 pitches. Known for his competitive nature and dedication to the team, his return is anticipated to bolster a struggling Rockies rotation. The Rockies have a team ERA of 5.61 and are on pace to finish last in the National League in ERA for the third consecutive season. Additionally, Rockies slugger Kris Bryant is nearing a minor league rehab assignment after dealing with various injuries. The Mets, meanwhile, are on a hot streak, with a 27-12 record since May 29.
