  "account": "Cincinnati Reds' young All-Star starter Chase Burns, an All-Star pitcher, might not win another game in the stretch run this season due to an innings-limit plan that has turned his Cy Young chances from slim to none. However, Burns is not complaining as he understands the bigger picture of what this plan could mean for a potentially healthier and stronger 2027 season for the Reds. Reds beat writer Elly De La Cruz, in an interview with Cincinnati Enquirer, revealed that Burns (15-3, 2.73 ERA) will be limited to 30 starts this season, starting in all of his remaining appearances with piggyback/start partner Brandon Williamson. This plan aims to ensure Burns' health and performance for next year's big plans for the team.",
