Fantasy Impact
Axford was roughed up by the Angels in this one and he seems to be cooling off since he was virtually unhittable for the first few months of the season. His ERA has now climbed to 2.55 and this was his second loss of the season. Axford is best used as a low-end number one closer at this point and can be an option for release.
