Michael Grove injury update: When will Dodgers SP return to lineup/rotation this season?

With Walker Buehler working his way back from Tommy John and Tony Gonsolin (ankle) and Ryan Pepiot (oblique) still on the shelf, the Los Angeles Dodgers were already thin on starting pitching at the moment. Alas, sometimes the baseball gods decide to just pile it on, and yet another blow came during Thursday night's game against the Chicago Cubs.

Michael Grove, who won Gonsolin's spot in the rotation with a strong spring, was forced to leave his start in the top of the fourth inning with a groin injury. Grove was wincing for several pitches before the training staff finally came out to examine him after he gave up a double to Trey Mancini.

This is Michael Grove's penultimate pitch of the night. You can see something might've been up with his right leg(?) pic.twitter.com/9pm3LYpSeC
