bullpen

After coming out, the right-hander finished the day with a short session in the bullpen.

Dodgers pitcher Michael Grove, who was bidding for a spot in the bullpen, will not pitch in 2025 after undergoing shoulder surgery.

He has been busy behind the plate in bullpens, live batting practice sessions and Cactus League games, trying to refine his framing and receiving skills while honing his ability to call pitches.

Grove, 28, was bidding for a spot in the bullpen after going 4-4 with a 5.12 ERA in 51 innings, mostly in relief, last year.

Right-hander Dustin May remains in contention for the Dodgers’ No. 5 starter in the rotation with right-hander Tony Gonsolin, but he could be an option in the bullpen.
