  "account": "The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to call up right-handed pitcher Emmet Sheehan from their Triple-A team following a reset in the big leagues. Sources close to the team revealed this development to Jack Harris of the California Post. Emmet Sheehan has been a consistent starter for the Dodgers over the past three seasons, pitching in 20 games this season before being demoted to Triple-A at the start of the month. In his most recent outings, Sheehan has struggled with a 1-4 record, a 6.39 ERA, and 36 strikeouts over 31 innings. His last start prior to the move saw him surrender five runs and three home runs in just 2.2 innings against the Boston Red Sox.\n\nDodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in Sheehan's abilities, acknowledging that he possesses the necessary talent and preparedness. However, the issue lies in his performance when facing big league competition. The future remains uncertain for Sheehan, with the team pulling for his success. Upon his return from Triple-A, Sheehan will likely be utilized out of the bullpen, as reported by The Athletic's Katie Woo. With several days off scheduled for the team, Sheehan's presence in the bullpen will help provide additional relief innings, taking the strain off their already taxed bullpen.",
