Optioned to OKC The Dodgers optioned Grove to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Impact Grove has made five outings since being reinstated off the 15-day injured list Aug. 7 due to a intercostal strain, 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.

Back from injured list The Dodgers reinstated Grove (ribs) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact 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 and take the place of Brusdar Graterol (hamstring), who was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Impact 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.

Set to pitch at Triple-A Grove (ribs) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Alex Freedman of okcbaseball.com reports.

Impact Grove is expected to pitch in Sunday's contest against Triple-A Round Rock, launching a rehab assignment. The right-hander has been out since June 16 while nursing a right intercostal strain and he'll likely make a few appearances with Oklahoma City before potentially returning to the Dodgers' bullpen in the near future.

Logs another poor outing Grove pitched three innings in relief against the Cubs on Friday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one batter.

Impact Grove has pitched more than an inning in three of his four appearances this season, with Friday's three-inning outing being his longest to date. He's mostly struggled in the early going, allowing at least three earned runs in all but one of his appearances thus far. Overall, Grove has an 11.74 ERA and 2.09 WHIP over 7.2 frames, and opponents are batting an astronomical .382 against him.

APRIL 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Secures NLDS roster spot Grove is on the Dodgers' roster for the NLDS, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Despite holding an unimpressive 6.13 ERA on the season, Grove has been solid since coming back from the injured list Sept. 23. Since then, he's logged five scoreless innings and struck out six batters while walking one, helping him to beat out Ryan Yarbrough for a spot on the NLDS roster.

OCTOBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Two scoreless innings in return Grove allowed a walk and struck out three over two scoreless innings in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

Impact Grove worked the seventh and eighth innings and helped preserve the Dodgers' shutout. This was his fourth relief appearance in 16 outings this year, and it's likely he'll work out of the bullpen for the rest of the regular season as well as the postseason, assuming he is on the playoff roster. Grove has a 6.41 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 70:19 K:BB through 66 innings this season.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from IL The Dodgers reinstated Grove (lat) from the 15-day injured list Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Grove has been on the shelf since early August due to tightness in his right lat, and his return will force Gavin Stone off the major-league roster. The 26-year-old has pitched to a 6.61 ERA through 64 innings on the year, but manager Dave Roberts said Grove would be given "every opportunity" to compete for a spot on the Dodgers' playoff roster.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On track for Saturday Grove (lat) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list Saturday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact That's the word from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who added that Grove will be given "every opportunity" to earn a spot in the team's postseason bullpen mix. Out since early August due to a right lat injury, the 26-year-old struck out four of the five batters he faced in his third and final rehab appearance Wednesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return during weekend series Grove (lat) might be able to return either Saturday or Sunday against the Giants, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact Grove has been recovering from a right lat injury and continues to inch closer toward activation. He was sent out on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sept. 7 and could be cleared to return sometime over the weekend according to skipper Dave Roberts.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could rejoin LA next week Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Grove (lat) could rejoin the team on its next homestand, per the Associated Press.

Impact Grove hasn't pitched for Los Angeles since Aug. 5, when he went 1.1 innings as an opener. The right-hander landed on the injured list the following day due to lat soreness and has made just one rehab appearance since, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out three batters for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sept. 7. It's not clear what Grove has been doing to rehab since, but it appears that he could nonetheless return to the Dodgers, likely as a bullpen arm, as soon as Monday, when the team begins a seven-game homestand against Detroit and San Francisco.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning rehab assignment Grove (lat) is set to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Impact It has already been determined that Grove will be returning to the Dodgers as a reliever, so this should be a relatively brief rehab stint even though he's been sidelined for over a month due to lat tightness. The 26-year-old right-hander carries a 6.61 ERA and 67:18 K:BB in 64 major-league innings (12 starts, three relief appearances) this season with Los Angeles.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely activated early next week Grove (lat) is expected to return to the Dodgers in a relief role early next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Grove has primarily worked as a starter this season, but the 26-year-old right-hander is poised to operate in a multi-inning bullpen gig down the stretch following a month-long stay on the major-league injured list for a bout of right lat tightness. Ryan Pepiot will be the rotation replacement for Julio Urias, who is now on administrative leave following his Sunday arrest on suspicion of felony domestic violence.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return next weekend Grove (lat) has been throwing at the Dodgers' complex in Arizona and could be activated to join the big-league bullpen next weekend, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Grove has been on the shelf with right lat tightness since Aug. 5 but has recently been able to resume throwing. The right-hander may go on a minor-league rehab assignment with Los Angeles' Triple-A club in Oklahoma City prior to making his return to the majors, with the Dodgers' series in Washington that begins Sept. 8 looking like the target for his activation. Grove has started in 12 of his 15 appearances with the big-league club this season but will be a part of the team's bullpen upon his return, per Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register.

Lands on injured list Grove was placed on the 15-day injured list with right lat tightness Sunday.

Impact Grove served as an opener Saturday against the Padres and struck out four in 1.1 scoreless innings, but he's apparently dealing with an injury afterward and will be forced to miss time. It's unclear whether he'll be forced to miss more than the minimum of 15 days, but left-hander Bryan Hudson was called up Sunday to take his place on the active roster.

AUGUST 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Functions as opener Saturday Grove allowed a hit and struck out four without walking a batter over 1.1 scoreless innings Saturday versus the Padres. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Grove was announced as the starter, but it ended up being more of an opener situation, with Ryan Yarbrough following him with 4.1 innings in bulk relief. That kind of arrangement may be the only way Grove sticks on the major-league roster in the near term. He was touched up for eight runs over six innings in his last start and still carries a 6.61 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 67:18 K:BB through 64 innings this season. While his strikeout numbers are solid, he'd likely be limited to low-leverage situations if he ends up as a traditional reliever going forward.

AUGUST 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday The Dodgers announced Grove will start Saturday's game against the Padres, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact The right-hander was expected to move to the bullpen after he gave up eight runs in his previous outing, but he'll end up receiving another start Saturday. However, Grove may not have the workload of a traditional starter with Ryan Yarbrough a likely option to serve as a piggyback.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Grinds out six innings Grove (2-3) allowed eight runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out 10 over six innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Reds.

Impact It wasn't pretty, as the Reds were ahead 3-0 after the first inning and 7-0 after the third before taking their foot off the gas. Grove hadn't pitched poorly in July, but this outing could be enough for him to lose his rotation spot to Lance Lynn, who is set to make his Dodgers debut Tuesday. Grove is at a 6.75 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 63:28 K:BB through 62.2 innings over 14 appearances (11 starts). It's unclear if Grove will be moved to the bullpen or optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City should he ultimately be taken out of the starting mix.

JULY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out six Grove allowed two runs on eight hits and struck out six without walking a batter over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Monday.

Impact Grove was decent aside from the eight hits, throwing 48 of 68 pitches for strikes in the short start. It was just the second time all season he's avoided walking a batter. The right-hander is now at a 6.19 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 53:17 K:BB through 56.2 innings over 13 appearances (10 starts). Grove should stick in the rotation for another turn at home over the weekend versus the Reds. He may eventually lose his major-league roster spot with Noah Syndergaar (finger) and Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) working back from injuries.

JULY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Notches second win Grove (2-2) earned the win Tuesday, allowing a run on five hits and two walks over five innings against the Orioles. He struck out four.

Impact Grove was solid Tuesday, holding Baltimore to a single run on an Aaron Hicks double in the second inning. It's an encouraging outing for the 26-year-old right-hander, lowering his ERA to a still-subpar 6.40 with a 1.54 WHIP and 47:17 K:BB through 52 innings. Grove will likely stick in the Dodgers' rotation until Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) can return from the IL. He's lined up to face the Blue Jays at home in his next outing.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up first win Grove (1-2) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings to earn the win over the Angels on Saturday.

Impact Grove worked behind opener Alex Vesia, who tossed a scoreless first inning. Grove's outing began with four scoreless innings before he gave all four runs over his last two frames. The right-hander now has a 6.89 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 43:15 K:BB through 47 innings over 11 appearances (eight starts) this season. Grove's stay in a starting or bulk-relief role likely depends on how much longer Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) will be out.
