Roberts added that Grove could be available in relief on Friday or Saturday. Roberts said he hasn’t determined Ryan Yarbrough’s role yet. He’s been a starter and reliever in the past. He is joining the club on Friday, so he could make an appearance in some fashion this weekend.

Michael Grove went 4 2/3 innings with six strikeouts on Monday as the Dodgers fell to the Blue Jays.

Grove yielded two earned runs in his 4 2/3 innings of work as part of an extra-innings defeat to Toronto. The right-hander now sports a 6.19 ERA in 13 appearances (10 starts) on the season but his 4.25 SIERA suggest he should see improvement moving forward.

The right-hander allowed just one earned run on five hits and two walks while striking out four, bringing his season totals to a 6.40 ERA, a 1.54 WHIP, and a 2-2 record in nine starts.

Despite some struggles, Grove's 8.1 K/9 and 2.76 strikeout-to-walk ratio show promise for the remainder of the season.
