  "account": "The Philadelphia Phillies acquired pitcher José Urquidy from the Chicago White Sox via waivers, with the expectation he may pitch in the team's Friday matchup against the New York Mets. Philadelphia manager Don Mattingly indicated Urquidy would likely serve as a starter or enter the game in a bulk capacity, following the departure of All-Star Jesús Luzardo due to left shoulder inflammation. Urquidy, a 31-year-old right-hander, was recently designated for assignment by the White Sox, with a 2-2 record, 5.28 ERA, and one save this season. His last appearance came on September 8, where he allowed two runs over four innings of relief against the Pittsburgh Pirates.",
