Tough news today for Padres fans: starter Jason Marquis is done for the season after suffering “significant damage” to the ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow.

A 34-year-old righty who has played for seven teams during his 14-year career, Marquis reportedly will undergo so-called Tommy John surgery to repair the ligament. Whether he will pitch again, or for whom, is unknown. Marquis had a one-year deal with the Padres this season.

The Staten Island native began 2013 strong, going 9-2 with a 3.63 ERA in his first 14 starts before finishing 9-5 with a 4.05 ERA. The nine wins were his most since 2009, when Marquis went 15-13 for the Colorado Rockies and was named to the N.L. All-Star Team.
