Dodgers Remove Michael Grove From NLDS Roster
1 month agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers removed right-hander Michael Grove (shoulder) from the National League Division Series roster on Tuesday due a shoulder injury and replaced him on the roster with right-hander Ben Casparius. If the Dodgers advance past the division-rival San Diego Padres and to the NL Championship Series, Grove would be ineligible to pitch. Grove went 4-4 during the regular season with a 5.12 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP, 54 strikeouts and 16 walks in 51 innings over 39 appearances (only two starts) in his third year in the big leagues. He came in with the Dodgers trailing on Sunday in Game 2 against SD and allowed a home run and struck out a batter in just one-third of an inning. Casparius made his big-league debut in 2024 and appeared in three games out of the bullpen, allowing three runs (two earned) while walking four and striking out 12 in 8 1/3 innings pitched.
