Dodgers add LHP Justin Bruihl to shaky bullpen

The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled left-handed reliever Justin Bruihl and optioned right-handed starter Michael Grove to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Bruihl, 26, went 1-0 with a 4.41 ERA over 14 appearances with the Dodgers earlier this season and has a combined 1.15 ERA in 13 minor league outings this season.

The Dodgers' bullpen is typically a strength, but Bruihl will rejoin a group that has a combined 4.74 ERA, which is 26th in baseball heading into play Thursday.

Grove, 26, has gone 0-2 with a 7.54 ERA in nine outings (seven starts) for the Dodgers this season. He started Wednesday's road game against the Colorado Rockies and had a no-decision while giving up four runs on eight hits over five innings.
