GLENDALE, Ariz. —

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Grove has been dealing with pain in the shoulder since last season.

“He’s disappointed,” Roberts said. “He’s already had Tommy John and didn’t want to do another surgery. He tried to tough it out and pitch through it, but it was just compromising his performance and recovery.”

Grove was a second-round pick for the Dodgers in 2018 after playing in college at West Virginia.
