| Mar 17 2025 | Grove (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list Monday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This move is simply procedural after the right-hander underwent season-ending surgery on his right shoulder March 9. A timetable for Grove's return to the mound is unlikely to come into focus until he begins to make progress in his rehab. |
|
| Mar 9 2025 | Grove recently underwent surgery on his right shoulder and will miss the entire 2025 season, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Grove's shoulder issue dates back to October, when the Dodgers removed him from the roster for their NLDS matchup with the Padres. Manager Dave Roberts said earlier in the spring that Grove was on track to open the upcoming season on the injured list since because the shoulder issue had delayed his throwing program over the winter, but it's unclear if the right-hander's decision to get surgery was the result of a setback or simply a lack of progress in his recovery. He's in store for a lengthy rehab program that could extend into the 2026 season. |
|
| Feb 25 2025 | Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Grove (shoulder) will not be ready for the start of the season, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Grove was shut down with a shoulder injury during the NLDS last season, and he got a late start to his offseason throwing program. The 28-year-old made 39 regular-season appearances for the Dodgers last season, including two starts, and finished with a 5.12 ERA and 54:16 K:BB across 51 innings. |
|
| Oct 8 2024 | Grove was removed from the Dodgers' NLDS roster Tuesday due to a shoulder injury, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The details of Grove's injury remain unknown, though the issue is apparently severe enough to warrant holding him out for the remainder of the series. The 27-year-old righty would also be ineligible to pitch in the NLCS if Los Angeles advances past the Padres, meaning he will have to wait until the World Series before potentially making another appearance. In the meantime, Ben Casparius will act as Grove's roster replacement. |
|
| Oct 5 2024 | Grove is included on the Dodgers' roster for the NLDS versus San Diego. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Grove recorded 39 appearances -- including two starts -- during the regular season and posted a 5.12 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB over 51 innings. The right-hander was sent to the minors in mid-September but was activated Saturday to serve as a bullpen piece during the divisional series. Grove will give Los Angeles a bit of length out of the bullpen, as 14 of his 39 outings during the campaign went longer than one inning. |
|
| Sep 18 2024 | The Dodgers optioned Grove to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Grove allowed three runs over a 1.2-inning relief outing Tuesday in Miami. He's expected to be replaced by a fresh bullpen arm, although the Dodgers have not yet announced the corresponding move. |
|
| Sep 1 2024 | The Dodgers recalled Grove from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Sunday's 14-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. He was used out of the bullpen in the loss, covering 1.2 innings and striking out a batter while allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Grove was summoned from the bullpen in the sixth inning while the Diamondbacks were already sitting on a 10-3 lead with one out and a runner on first. Though he induced an inning-ending double play and went on to complete the seventh inning, Grove's usage in a blowout indicates that the Dodgers don't envision him filling a high-leverage role out of the bullpen down the stretch. |
|
| Aug 17 2024 | The Dodgers optioned Grove to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Grove has made five appearances since returning from an intercostal strain Aug. 7, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four across 4.1 frames. The move makes room for the reinstatement of right-hander Ryan Brasier (calf) from the 60-day injured list. |
|
| Aug 7 2024 | The Dodgers reinstated Grove (ribs) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A right intercostal strain forced Grove onto the injured list in mid-June, and he began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on July 21. In six appearances in the minors, he allowed two earned runs in 5.1 innings while striking out seven batters and walking two. Now fully recovered, he'll take on a middle-relief role with the Dodgers in place of Brusdar Graterol (hamstring), who landed on the injured list in a corresponding move. |
|
| Jul 27 2024 | Grove (ribs) has pitched in three minor-league rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowing one hit and issuing two walks while striking out three batters over three scoreless innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Grove was diagnosed with an intercostal strain in mid-June and began a rehab assignment with OKC on July 21. Given his results through three appearances, it's likely that the right-hander will return to the big-league club shortly. Grove had been working primarily out of the Dodgers' bullpen prior to his injury, posting a 5.06 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 45:12 K:BB over 37.1 frames while picking up four wins and six holds. |
|
| Jul 21 2024 | Grove (intercostal) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Oklahoma City. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander has been out since June 16 while nursing a right intercostal strain. He'll likely make a few appearances with Oklahoma City before potentially returning from the 15-day injured list and rejoining the Dodgers bullpen as soon as later this week. |
|
| Jun 16 2024 | Grove was diagnosed Sunday with a right intercostal strain but isn't expected to miss more than a few weeks, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Prior reports had suggested that Grove's placement on the 15-day injured list earlier Sunday was the result of a right lat injury, but his health concern is now being classified differently. While Grove could still miss more than the minimum 15 days, he'll have a chance to make it back before the Dodgers wrap up their first-half schedule July 14. Grove made 12 starts for Los Angeles in 2023 but has worked exclusively in relief for the big club this season, aside from two occasions in which he served as an opener. He's been deployed mostly in the middle innings and has accrued a 5.06 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over his 28 appearances while notching four wins and six holds. |
|
| Jun 14 2024 | Grove (4-3) was charged with the loss against the Rangers on Thursday, allowing two runs on three hits over one inning. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Grove was deployed as an opener but wound up having little margin for error as the Dodgers' offense managed to generate only one run on the night, leaving the right-hander with his first loss since May 10. He has allowed at least one run and multiple hits in two straight appearances. He's also failed to record a strikeout in three straight outings. |
|
| Jun 13 2024 | Manager Dave Roberts said Grove will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Grove made 18 starts with the Dodgers between the 2022 and 2023 seasons, but he's worked almost exclusively as a reliever in 2024. During his lone other start this season back on April 28 against the Blue Jays, Grove covered just two innings and gave up three earned runs before turning the game over to the bullpen. He'll be working Thursday on just one day of rest and is unlikely to cover more than 1-to-3 innings before he exits the contest. |
|
| Jun 8 2024 | Grove (4-2) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win in relief against the Yankees on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neither team was able to score through nine innings, pushing the contest into extra frames. The Dodgers failed to score in the top of the 10th, but Grove was able to extend the game by keeping the Yankees from scoring in the bottom of that inning. The right-hander then moved into position for the win as a result of Los Angeles scoring twice in the top of the 11th. Grove still has an uninspiring 4.59 ERA on the campaign, but he's been pitching well since the end of April. Over his past 15 outings, he holds a 2.20 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB across 16.1 frames while recording four wins and four holds. |
|
| May 4 2024 | Grove (1-1) earned the victory against Atlanta on Friday, retiring all three batters he faced in the 11th inning. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Grove faced a daunting task in the top of the 11th frame, as he came on with the automatic runner at second base and Ronald Acuna, Ozzie Albies and Austin Riley due up for Atlanta. The right-hander handled the situation with aplomb, retiring all three batters without allowing the ball to leave the infield. Grove then picked up the win when the Dodgers scored in the bottom of the inning. The right-hander has turned things around after his early-season struggles, posting a 2.38 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB over his past 11.1 frames and holding the opponent scoreless in seven of his past eight outings. |
|
| Apr 28 2024 | Grove (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks over two innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Grove led off a bullpen game for the Dodgers and was promptly pulled after a three-run second inning. During the frame, Grove allowed three hits -- including a double to Justin Turner and a solo homer to Alejandro Kirk -- and hit Cavan Biggio with a pitch. Although Grove owns a 6.88 ERA, Sunday's outing marked his first runs allowed over 7.1 innings since April 5. |
