Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that pitcher Michael Grove is not expected to be on the Opening Day roster due to delayed recovery from a right shoulder injury. Despite previous roster inclusion during the playoffs, his health has remained a concern. Grove's limited performance last season, coupled with ongoing issues, has put him behind in preparation. The team's offseason update on Grove did not provide significant details, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding his recovery and future participation. Injury challenges also impact other Dodgers pitchers.
"He's working through some things. Yeah, I don't see any world where he's ready for Opening Day. He's got to build up. Yeah, he's behind. He's behind."
"There's a shoulder thing that he's been dealing with for quite some time. And so the recovery is not good. Inflammation, probably more to that."
"I'm sure he'll get a scan. So we understand the cost of the next round, not being available. So Ben Casparius is going to be active."
"Grove dealt with a right intercostal strain last season that resulted in spending nearly two months on the injured list."
