Updated May 19, 2026
German Márquez, 31-year-old right-handed pitcher for the San Diego Padres, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 3, 2026, following a rough outing against the White Sox on May 1. He was diagnosed with right forearm nerve irritation. As of mid-May, Márquez has begun a throwing program and is expected to make a gradual recovery. Manager Craig Stammen indicated the injury is not expected to be long-term, though Márquez will need considerable time to build back up before returning to action, likely not before early June.
