  "account": "Emmet Sheehan, a 26-year-old Los Angeles Dodgers starter, has been impressing with his performance in Triple-A, strengthening his case for a potential return to Major League Baseball. Despite struggling with the Dodgers this season, posting a 5.29 ERA over 20 starts and allowing numerous home runs and walks, Sheehan has been lights out in the minors. In just four starts, he has maintained an impressive 1.50 ERA over 18 innings, striking out 24 batters. For his outstanding performance, Sheehan was awarded the Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Month for August.\n\nSheehan's impressive statistics led him to the top of the league in terms of WHIP, batting average, and strikeouts per nine innings among PCL pitchers with at least 15 innings pitched in August. His best performances came in his most recent three starts, where he only allowed one earned run over 17.1 innings. With the Dodgers' rotation currently packed with healthy players and limited options due to injuries, Sheehan's strong performance in the minors makes him a strong candidate to reclaim his spot in the rotation should he continue his impressive results.",
