  "account": "Windber High School and University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown alum Braxton Roxby has been called up to The Show by the San Francisco Giants, according to a report on August 26. The 27-year-old, in his sixth professional season, signed a free agent contract with the Cincinnati Reds in 2020, eventually being traded to the Giants for reliever Taylor Rogers and cash considerations on January 29, 2025. Roxby's professional career began with the Bourne Braves of the Cape Cod League from 2021 to 2024, playing for the High-A Dayton Dragons and Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts.\n\nSince joining the Giants organization, Roxby has primarily played in the Pacific Coast League with Triple-A Sacramento. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 230 pounds, the right-handed pitcher has a 4-3 record, a 4.11 ERA, and 53 strikeouts over 57 innings of work. He has struck out 36 batters with three holds this season, maintaining a .205 batting average against him. Roxby, currently off the 40-man roster, is expected to secure a spot following the injuries of two Giants pitchers. He is anticipated to return to Pennsylvania soon, with San Francisco visiting Pittsburgh from September 1-3, providing ample support for Roxby.",
