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.
