SAN DIEGO -- Right-hander Michael Grove was dropped from the Los Angeles Dodgers' NL Division Series roster against the San Diego Padres because of an unspecified injury and replaced Tuesday by right-hander Ben Casparius.

MLB medical director Dr. Gary Green confirmed the injury after reviewing medical information, the commissioner's office said in a statement.

Grove pitched to two batters in the eighth inning of the Dodgers' 10-2 loss in Game 2 on Sunday, allowing Xander Bogaerts' home run and striking out Jake Cronenworth.
