InjuryMichael Grove (shoulder) struck out the side in a perfect inning on Saturday in a minor league rehab start in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.
Grove returned to game action for the first time since undergoing shoulder surgery last March. The 29-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Rays last month and figures to be an option for them at some point in the second half. He’ll need an extended rehab assignment to build up his strength and stamina since he hasn’t pitched in nearly two years.
