Michael Grove Removed from Dodgers NLDS Roster

The Los Angeles Dodgers have removed right-hander Michael Grove from their NL Division Series roster against the San Diego Padres due to an unspecified injury, confirmed by MLB's medical director, Dr. Gary Green. Grove's last appearance was a brief outing in Game 2, where he allowed a home run and recorded one strikeout before being replaced. He is now ineligible for the NL Championship Series but could return for the World Series if the Dodgers advance. Ben Casparius, a rookie right-hander with a 2.16 ERA in limited appearances this season, has been added to the roster in Grove's place. The Dodgers have not disclosed the specifics of Grove's injury, but it is significant enough to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the series. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is expected to provide further details about Grove's condition shortly.
