Michael Grove: Breaking News

Shifted to 60-day injured list

The Rays transferred Grove (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday. The transaction frees up a 40-man roster spot for right-hander Trevor Martin, who was called up from Triple-A Durham. Grove was signed last week as he continues his recovery from right shoulder surgery, and it's unclear when he might be ready to pitch in a game.

Signed by Rays

The Rays signed Grove to a major league contract Tuesday and placed him on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder surgery. In a corresponding move, the Rays transferred Ryan Pepiot to the 60-day injured list due to right hip inflammation. Grove was last seen with the Dodgers when he was outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City in November after missing the entire 2025 season due to surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

Outrighted to Triple-A

The Dodgers outrighted Grove (shoulder) to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. Grove missed the 2025 season while recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. It's uncertain whether he will be ready for the start of the 2026 season, and he will have to fight his way back onto the 40-man roster.
