Dodgers Replace Injured Michael Grove with Rookie Ben Casparius for NLDS

Grove's shoulder injury sidelines him for the series against the Padres, with Casparius stepping up as his replacement.

Michael Grove was removed from the Dodgers' NLDS roster due to a confirmed shoulder injury.
Ben Casparius, a 25-year-old rookie, has been selected to take Grove's place on the roster.
Grove will be ineligible to pitch in the NL Championship Series but could return for the World Series if the Dodgers advance.
Casparius made his MLB debut on August 31, boasting a 2-0 record with a 2.16 ERA in three relief appearances.
MLB's medical director, Dr. Gary Green, reviewed and confirmed the injury, leading to the roster change approval.
