The Dodgers on Friday activated reliever John Axford and placed right-hander Erik Goeddel on the 10-day disabled list with right lat inflammation.
Axford, acquired Tuesday from the Blue Jays, has made 45 appearances this season for Toronto, giving up 27 runs (25 earned) in 51 innings. The right-hander is the 26th pitcher this season that has come into a game for the Dodgers as a reliever.
Pitching for his eighth team in his 10th year in the big leagues, Axford joins a cast of characters that have tried to get the ball from the starter to Kenley Jansen on any given night.
