The Dodgers outrighted Grove (shoulder) to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Grove missed the 2025 season while recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. It's uncertain whether he will be ready for the start of the 2026 season, and he will have to fight his way back onto the 40-man roster.

Grove (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list Monday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Grove recently underwent surgery on his right shoulder and will miss the entire 2025 season, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Grove was removed from the Dodgers' NLDS roster Tuesday due to a shoulder injury, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Grove is included on the Dodgers' roster for the NLDS versus San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Dodgers optioned Grove to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
