Slated to pitch Saturday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Grove is expected to either start or cover the bulk of the innings out of the bullpen during Saturday's game against the Angels, Eric Stephen of S...

Impact The Dodgers' decision to add Triple-A Oklahoma City starter Landon Knack to the taxi squad Thursday created some uncertainty about whether Grove would pitch in the Los Angeles' final game before the All-Star break, but the right-hander looks like he'll make a second straight turn through the rotation after all. After being called up from Triple-A on Monday as a replacement for the injured Clayton Kershaw (shoulder), Grove proceeded to cover four innings in a starting role and gave up one run on five hits and two walks while taking a no-decision against the Pirates.

Lasts four innings Monday Grove allowed a run on five hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision versus the Pirates on Monday.

Impact Grove threw 79 pitches (46 strikes), but manager Dave Roberts clearly didn't want him going through the order a third time. This was Grove's 10th big-league outing (eighth start) of the season, and he's covered at least five innings in four of them. The right-hander owns a 7.02 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 37:14 K:BB through 41 innings. With Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) out until at least mid-July, but it's unclear if Grove or Gavin Stone will get the nod when this spot in the rotation comes up again Saturday versus the Angels.

Recalled and starting Monday Grove has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Monday's game against the Pirates, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Grove will get the nod in the series opener after the Dodgers confirmed that Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) would require a stint on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander recently toed the rubber June 28 in Colorado, surrendering four runs on eight hits and two walks while fanning three over five innings.

Could be recalled Monday Grove will be recalled to start Monday against the Pirates if Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) is placed on the injured list, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Kershaw has dealt with left shoulder inflammation for several days, and the team continues to evaluate him ahead of Monday's series opener. Manager Dave Roberts said after Sunday's loss to the Royals that it's possible Kershaw lands on the IL, and he also said that Grove will take the mound to begin Monday's game if Kershaw is unavailable. Grove made five appearances for the major-league club in June and posted a 6.86 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 21 innings during that time.

Optioned to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Grove to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Grove gave up four earned runs on eight hits and two walks in a five-inning traditional start Wednesday at Coors Field. The 26-year-old swingman heads back to the minors with a 7.54 ERA in 37 total major-league innings for the year.

Fails to impress in start Grove allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five innings in a no-decision against Colorado on Wednesday.

Impact Pitchers struggling in the altitude of Colorado is hardly a rare occurrence, but it still felt like a missed opportunity for Grove to impress in his first start in nearly two weeks. The last time the right-hander took the mound as a starter, he served up four long balls; though Grove didn't allow any homers Wednesday, he failed to miss many bats, notching just six swinging strikes and three punchouts. The 26-year-old has had the chance to stake a claim for a rotation spot with seven starts on the campaign, but he hasn't done much to earn that role with a 7.54 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB over 37 frames across nine overall appearances.

Listed starter Wednesday Grove will get the start Wednesday at Colorado, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact Grove has been serving as a swingman for Los Angeles this season while struggling to a 7.59 ERA across 32 innings. The 26-year-old right-hander makes for a risky fantasy streaming option in Wednesday night's tilt at Coors Field.

Working in bulk relief Grove will operate as the bulk reliever Wednesday versus the Angels, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

Impact Grove is set to follow Brusdar Graterol, who is serving as the Dodgers' opener Wednesday night at Angel Stadium. It's not a favorable pitching setup for fantasy purposes, though Grove will likely try to cover a good amount of innings. He holds an 8.10 ERA through seven major-league appearances (six starts) this year.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called up for start vs. Angels Los Angeles recalled Grove from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Impact Grove was called up ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Angels. The right-hander has struggled in his previous action with the Dodgers this season, pitching to an 8.10 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 30 innings. Shelby Miller (neck) was placed on the 15-day injured list in the corresponding transaction.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed to start Wednesday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Grove will start for the Dodgers on Wednesday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact Grove was on the practice squad and with the team in Los Angeles, and it comes as no surprise that the right-hander will make the start in the second contest of the three-game set against the Angels. In 30 innings, Grove has posted an 8.10 ERA and 1.60 WHIP, and he'd be an extremely risky streaming option against Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout and the rest of the Halos' lineup.

Likely to start Wednesday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters before Tuesday's tilt that it would "make sense" for Grove to start Wednesday's game versus the Angels, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com...

Impact Grove is on the taxi squad, and it would be an upset if anyone but the right-hander was on the bump for the Dodgers to begin Wednesday's tilt against their crosstown rivals. The right-hander has struggled with an ugly 8.10 ERA over 30 innings with the Dodgers this year, and it'd be hard to justify him as a fantasy option even as a streamer for Wednesday's game against the Halos.

JUNE 18, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Optioned to Triple-A Grove was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday by the Dodgers, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact It clears a spot on the 26-man active roster for Emmet Sheehan, who was brought up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to make his MLB debut versus the Giants on Friday. Grove will likely be up again with Los Angeles in the near future, but there's just as much fantasy risk in his right arm as there is reward.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Serves up four homers Thursday Grove allowed four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Thursday.

Impact It's rarely a positive takeaway when a pitcher gets blasted for four long balls, but the silver lining for the Dodgers -- and Grove's fantasy managers -- is that all four were solo blasts and that the Guardians didn't push any runs across the plate otherwise. Another way to look at Grove's outing optimistically is to note his 18 whiffs and seven punchouts, which tied his season-high mark. The right-hander has given up exactly four runs in each of his past three starts, totaling 14 innings over that span. That's neither disastrous nor particularly good, and Los Angeles may have no choice but to stick with him given its injury-burdened rotation. From a fantasy perspective, managers can probably do better than Grove's current 8.10 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and lack of any wins across seven outings.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Allows four runs as bulk reliever Grove allowed four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out two over four innings during Friday's 5-4 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Grove operated as the a bulk reliever behind Victor Gonzales, who faced just three batters as the opener. The former has made two appearances since being activated off the injured list at the beginning of June, and while he's allowed eight runs on 11 hits through nine innings, he's posted a strong 9:1 K:BB during that stretch. He figures to remain a steady part of the Dodgers' rotation while Julio Urias (hamstring) and Noah Syndergaard (finger) are on injured reserve, but with Urias nearing a return, Grove could be headed for a stint in the minors.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In line for bulk relief Grove is in line to serve as a bulk reliever for the Dodgers on Friday against the Phillies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact He had been the projected starter, but the Dodgers have elected to use Victor Gonzalez as an opener first. Grove holds a 5.14 ERA over five starts with the big club this season, although that's come with a 21:7 K:BB.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains in rotation Grove is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Phillies in Philadelphia.

Impact He'll be making his second straight turn through the Dodgers rotation after he returned from a stint on the 15-day injured list June 3 and tossed five innings while striking out seven and allowing four earned runs in a loss to the Yankees. The Dodgers could get Julio Urias (hamstring) back from the IL next week, but with Noah Syndergaard (finger) going on the IL on Thursday, Grove's spot in the rotation appears safe for now.

Takes loss in return Grove (0-2) took the loss against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over five innings.

Impact The Yankees reached only four times against Grove, but Jake Bauers ensured that no runners were left on base while the hurler was in the contest by swatting a pair of two-run homers. Despite the loss, there were some positive takeaways for the right-hander -- he didn't walk any batters for the first time in five outings this season, racked up a career-high seven punchouts and induced 13 swinging strikes, also a career-high mark. Grove was called up to start after a stint on the injured list due to a groin injury, and he took over the rotation spot that had previously been filled by Gavin Stone, who has struggled in the big leagues when given the opportunity this season. Los Angeles' rotation is in a bit of flux right now -- Julio Urias (hamstring) is unlikely to return from the IL until at least next weekend, and Noah Syndergaard has pitched so poorly that the team may need to make a decision about his rotation spot soon -- so there's an opening for Grove to be more than just a temporary replacement if he's able to build upon Saturday's positives in his next start.

Activated for Saturday start Grove (groin) was activated from the 15-day injured list Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact As planned, Grove will get another look out of the Dodgers' starting rotation -- beginning with Saturday's game against the visiting Yankees -- after he missed a little over five weeks because of a right groin strain. The 26-year-old was excellent in his second and final rehab start last weekend with Triple-A Oklahoma City, tallying seven strikeouts with no walks across 5.2 scoreless innings.

JUNE 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed for Saturday's start Grove (groin) will start for the Dodgers on Saturday versus the Yankees, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's been the expectation and manager Dave Roberts has now confirmed it. Grove has been out since late April with a groin strain but is ready to roll now after pitching well in both of his rehab starts. He'll be taking the rotation spot of Gavin Stone, who was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Impact Roberts has been on the injured list due to a groin strain, and the right-hander appears likely to join the Los Angeles rotation this weekend even if the Dodgers haven't fully committed to the notion just yet. The right-hander struggled to an 8.44 ERA, and even while pitching behind one of the best teams in baseball, there are likely better options out there in terms of potential fantasy production.
