  "account": "The Diamondbacks have shuffled their lineup for Friday night's game against the New York Yankees, with right fielder Corbin Carroll dropped to the seventh spot. Carroll, who has been struggling at the plate since mid-August, has hit .147/.195/.293 in 82 plate appearances since August 24. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo acknowledged Carroll's hard work but urged him to take it easy and catch his breath. The Diamondbacks have also rearranged their rotation ahead of the Yankees series, pushing left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez up a day to start on Friday and moving right-hander Brandon Pfaadt to Saturday. Lovullo suggested Rodriguez's outing on Friday could give him a chance to pitch in relief on Sunday, while Pfaadt and the final three starters would aim to win a potential wild-card game.",
