  "account": "The Atlanta Braves have bolstered their pitching rotation by claiming right-hander Michael Grove from the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. Grove, a 29-year-old former second-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers, will join the Braves in Triple-A Gwinnett. Injuries have plagued Grove's career, as he missed the entire 2025 season after being diagnosed with a torn labrum during spring training. Since his Major League debut in 2022, he has only thrown 156.1 innings, including seven games with the Rays this season. Grove's 5.14 ERA and ability to strike out 10.8 batters per nine innings make him an attractive option for the Braves as they prepare for the postseason and consider using innings eaters in the final stretch.",
