Brailyn Marquez

Cubs prospect LHP Brailyn Marquez (COVID-19) is close to being game-ready.

Fantasy Impact

Marquez tested positive back in the spring and has had to work his way into shape again. The 22-year-old lefty is one of the team's top prospects and could find himself in the big leagues by the end of the season. He's slated to begin his '21 minor league tenure in Double-A.

Brailyn Marquez made his big league debut in the eighth inning of Sunday's game against the White Sox, and struggled mightily. He gave up five runs on two hits and three walks while striking out one. The Cubs still won, 10-8.

Fantasy Impact

Marquez has electric velocity, approaching 100 MPH from the left side. However, he certainly has command issues to work out. Stash him in dynasty leagues, but he doesn't figure to be a relevant fantasy asset in 2021.
