Grove was removed from the Dodgers' NLDS roster Tuesday due to a shoulder injury, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. The details of Grove's injury remain unknown, though the issue is apparently severe enough to warrant holding him out for the remainder of the series. The 27-year-old righty would also be ineligible to pitch in the NLCS if Los Angeles advances past the Padres, meaning he will have to wait until the World Series before potentially making another appearance. In the meantime, Ben Casparius will act as Grove's roster replacement.

Grove is included on the Dodgers' roster for the NLDS versus San Diego. Grove recorded 39 appearances -- including two starts -- during the regular season and posted a 5.12 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB over 51 innings. The right-hander was sent to the minors in mid-September but was activated Saturday to serve as a relief option for this playoff round. Grove will give Los Angeles a bit of length out of the bullpen, as 14 of his 39 outings during the campaign went longer than one inning.

The Dodgers optioned Grove to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Grove allowed three runs over a 1.2-inning relief outing Tuesday in Miami. He's expected to be replaced by a fresh bullpen arm, although the Dodgers have not yet announced the corresponding move.

The Dodgers recalled Grove from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Sunday's 14-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. He was used out of the bullpen in the loss, covering 1.2 innings and striking out a batter while allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits. Grove was summoned from the bullpen in the sixth inning while the Diamondbacks were already sitting on a 10-3 lead with one out and a runner on first. Though he induced an inning-ending double play and went on to complete the seventh inning, Grove's usage in a blowout indicates that the Dodgers don't envision him filling a high-leverage role out of the bullpen down the stretch.

The Dodgers reinstated Grove (ribs) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday. A right intercostal strain forced Grove onto the injured list in mid-June, and he began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on July 21. In six appearances in the minors, he allowed two earned runs in 5.1 innings while striking out seven batters and walking two. Now fully recovered, he'll take on a middle-relief role with the Dodgers in place of Brusdar Graterol (hamstring), who landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.
