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 reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

There's rarely a bright side when a pitcher gets blasted for four long balls, but in this case at least all four were solo blasts, and that the Guardians didn't push any runs across the plate otherwise. Grove did manage 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, but 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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Grove operated as a bulk reliever behind Victor Gonzalez, 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 could remain a steady part of the Dodgers' rotation while Julio Urias (hamstring) and Noah Syndergaard (finger) are on the injured list, though with Urias nearing a return.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Wednesday that Grove (groin) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday versus the Yankees in Los Angeles, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll be taking the rotation spot of Gavin Stone, who was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Grove has been on the shelf since April 21 with a right groin strain, but he's looked sharp over his two rehab starts with Oklahoma City. In his most recent outing for the Triple-A club this past Saturday, Grove struck out seven and issued no walks over 5.2 scoreless innings.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters before Tuesday's game that it "makes a lot of sense" for Grove (groin) to be activated to start Saturday against the Yankees, but that a decision hasn't been made publicly, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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 has struggled to an 8.44 ERA, and with one of baseball's best lineups supporting him, there are likely better options out there in terms of potential fantasy production.
