Michael Grove underwent surgery on his right shoulder and will miss the 2025 season.

Grove has dealt with a shoulder injury since October and was removed from the Dodgers' playoff roster with the same injury. The team should release more information on the extent of the surgery, but for now Grove will focus on rehab and work towards a return in 2026.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Michael Grove (shoulder) will not be available for the start of the season, Jack Harris of The Los Angeles Times reports.

Grove has been behind schedule this spring after suffering a shoulder injury during the NLDS and delaying his offseason throwing program. The right-hander worked in a swingman role last season, making two starts across 39 appearances while posting a 5.12 ERA with a 54:16 K:BB over 51 innings. With Grove sidelined to begin the year, the Dodgers will likely rely on depth arms to cover innings out of the bullpen.
