3/10/24	Dodgers Spring Training Highlights: Michael Grove's Strikeouts, Will Smith Home Run & More From Win Over Rangers.

3/09/24	Spring Training Preview: Michael Grove Makes First Start; Dodgers Face Rangers. The Los Angeles Dodgers have seen their two last games get canceled due to rain with just six full innings being completed in the two days, but they'll give it another try to get a full game in, this time against the Texas Rangers. Michael Grove gets the start for the first time in Cactus League play this year as he's pitched out of relief in his previous three games. During those appearances, Grove has thrown 4.2 innings and posted an 11.57 ERA with a 1.93 WHIP and five strikeouts. The Dodgers have been building up Grove as a starter, but it's more likely he works in a multi-inning relief role or possibly as a spot starter in 2024 when he's on the Dodgers roster. As it stands, Gavin Stone appears Source: https://dodgerblue.com/?p=2084225...

11/29/23	2023 Dodgers in review: Michael Grove. Michael Grove showed improvement in his second season in the majors with the Dodgers, and may have found his path to ultimate success in the big leagues. Grove made the opening day roster in the rotation, though it took injuries to Tony Gonsolin and Ryan Pepiot to open the fifth-starter spot. Grove had a 6.13 ERA on the season, which ranked 256th among the 273 major league pitchers with at least 60 innings in 2023, so you might be wondering where Grove's improvement was. For one, Grove increased his strikeout rate (24.2 percent this year, after 18 percent in 2022) and decreased his walk rate (6.3 percent from 7.5 percent).

9/27/23	Michael Grove Getting 'Every Opportunity' To Make Dodgers Postseason Roster.

The position-player side of things is set, barring any unforeseen circumstances, but how the pitching staff will shape up remains in the air, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. The Dodgers currently have 14 pitchers on their roster, but the postseason limit is 13, so the team will have a tough decision on who to cut.
