Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Grove got his first taste of the majors last season, working mostly as a spot starter and compiling a 4.60 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over seven appearances spanning 29.1 innings. His 7.5% walk rate was in line with his season numbers between Double- and Triple-A, but his 18.0 percent strikeout rate didn't come close to the over-a-strikeout-per-inning promise he showed in each of his minor-league stops. His three-pitch arsenal (mid-90s fastball, high-80s slider, high-70s curveball) is good enough for him to grow in that regard, and Grove has in fact impressed with his overall improvement after posting a 7.86 ERA over 71 innings at Double-A in 2021. Depending on what the Dodgers do in the offseason, there may be a back-end rotation spot up for grabs, and Grove should be a candidate if that scenario plays out. However, there remains a possibility that he ends up in the bullpen long-term. Read Past Outlooks

Fans seven in rehab start
Grove (groin) tossed 4.1 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters.
ANALYSIS
Grove gave up a pair of solo homers in the outing but otherwise pitched very well. This was his first appearance in a game since he tossed three innings for the big-league Dodgers against the Cubs on April 20. It's not yet certain if the organization plans to have Grove make multiple rehab appearances or if he'll be called up to the majors for his next start. The right-hander tossed 64 pitches Sunday, so he's not quite ready for a full workload, but the Dodgers suddenly find themselves in need of starting pitching with Julio Urias (hamstring) and Dustin May (forearm) recently moved to the injured list. Rookies Gavin Stone and Bobby Miller are starting the first two games of the team's current series in Atlanta.
