Dodgers Pitcher Michael Grove to Miss 2025 Season After Shoulder Surgery

The 28-year-old underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum, marking his second major procedure after Tommy John surgery in 2017.

Michael Grove, a right-handed pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been ruled out for the entire 2025 MLB season following shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum.
The injury initially surfaced during Game 2 of the 2024 NLDS, forcing him off the Dodgers' postseason roster and delaying his offseason recovery.
Grove, a 2018 second-round pick, previously underwent Tommy John surgery in 2017 and has faced multiple injuries throughout his career, including groin and lat issues.
In 2024, Grove transitioned primarily to a bullpen role, posting a 5.12 ERA over 39 games, though advanced metrics suggested stronger underlying performance.
The Dodgers, already dealing with significant pitching injuries, are relying on their deep roster of arms to compensate for the loss of Grove and others.
