Rockies' German Marquez: Set to throw bullpens

Marquez (elbow) will return to Denver to throw bullpen sessions during the Rockies' weekend series against the Phillies, MLB.com reports.

Manager Bud Black said the team wanted to see Marquez's progress after he had been working at the team's spring training facility for the last few weeks. If things go well, Marquez could embark on a rehab assignment in the near future for the final stage of his recovery from May 2023 Tommy John surgery, but he's still not expected to be back in the big-league rotation until July.
