Ryan Pepiot - Return pushed backPepiot is still experiencing soreness in his left oblique, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

ImpactPepiot began throwing to live hitters earlier this month, but a setback has returned him to playing catch on flat ground. Originally expected to return in late May or early June, Pepiot could now be held out of action through the All-Star break.

Gavin Stone - Likely rotation replacementDodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Stone "makes the most sense" to replace Dustin May (forearm) in the starting rotation, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

ImpactMichael Grove (groin) is traveling with the Dodgers, but only on the taxi squad for now, and it sounds like he'll be used in relief if -- or when -- he is activated. Stone racked up 10 strikeouts over 5.2 innings in his last start Tuesday at Triple-A Oklahoma City and can comfortably slot into May's spot Monday at Atlanta. May is out for at least a month with a flexor strain, so both Grove and Stone could ultimately get rotation turns. Bobby Miller might eventually be an option as well.

Michael Grove - Nearing activation from IL?Grove (groin) has joined the Dodgers in St. Louis after throwing a bullpen session in Arizona on Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

ImpactGrove might be an option to help fill Dustin May's (forearm) spot in the rotation, which comes around again Monday at Atlanta. That would mean skipping a minor-league rehab assignment. The 26-year-old had posted an ugly 8.44 ERA through 16 major-league innings (four starts) with Los Angeles prior to suffering a right groin strain in late April.

Justin Bruihl - Recalled to MLB bullpenThe Dodgers recalled Bruihl from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

ImpactBruihl will return to the major-league bullpen mix as the Dodgers open a four-game set against the Cardinals. He's worked to an impressive 2.53 ERA and 12:1 K:BB through 10.2 innings of relief this season with Los Angeles.

Dylan Covey - Designated for assignmentThe Dodgers designated Covey for assignment Thursday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

ImpactOne day after pitching in the majors for the first time since 2020, Covey has once again been cast off the Dodgers' 40-man roster. The 31-year-old righty holds a 4.22 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through 32 innings in Triple-A this season. It's possible Covey gets claimed by a team in search of a multi-inning reliever, but his career 6.54 ERA in the majors lowers his chances.
