Michael Grove Won't Be Ready For Opening Day
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Michael Grove (shoulder) will not be ready for Opening Day on March 18 in Tokyo, Japan, against the Chicago Cubs, according to manager Dave Roberts. It's not much of a surprise, as Grove was around a month behind scheduled in the offseason after he finished the 2024 campaign with a right-shoulder injury. The 28-year-old made a career-high 39 appearances (two starts) for the Blue last year and held a 5.12 ERA (3.87 FIP) and 1.22 WHIP with 54 strikeouts and 16 walks in 51 inning pitched. Grove was a bit unlucky in his relief role and showed much better velocity out of the bullpen. Because he won't be ready for the start of the regular season because of his shoulder injury, it's most likely that the Dodgers will leave him in a relief role in 2025 when he returns, which makes him one to avoid in fantasy.
