LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers activated right-handed reliever John Axford on Friday and placed reliever Erik Goeddel on the 10-day disabled list with right lat inflammation.
Axford was acquired at Tuesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline from Toronto for Minor League pitcher Corey Copping.
Axford is the latest candidate for a setup role in the Dodgers' bullpen, which has been without one since Brandon Morrow left for free agency over the winter. The bullpen this season has been hit by injuries to relievers Josh Fields, Tony Cingrani, Pedro Baez, Yimi Garcia, Adam Liberatore, Zac Rosscup and now Goeddel, who allowed a three-run homer to Jesus Aguilar on Thursday night.
