The Rockies remained optimistic Tuesday afternoon that right-hander German Marquez does not have a major arm injury and will avoid an extended absence from the starting rotation.
Marquez, who departed the mound with tightness in the mid-forearm of his right arm during Monday night’s game, underwent an MRI Tuesday afternoon and the club was waiting for the results.
“We want to (erase) any doubt as to what’s going on,” manager Bud Black said before the Rockies hosted the Cardinals at Coors Field. “(Head trainer) Keith (Dugger) and our team doctors recommended that. We will know more as the evening progresses and probably (know) tomorrow.”
