Indians manager Terry Francona announced the move before Saturday night's game against Tampa Bay. He met with Axford prior to batting practice.
Analysis: Axford is 1-3 with nine saves and a 4.91 ERA in 17 games in his first season with the Indians. He has struggled recently, and was pulled in the ninth inning of Cleveland's 6-3 win on Friday night. A group of four relievers that includes Cody Allen, Scott Atchison, Marc Rzepczynski and Bryan Shaw could all get opportunities to fill the role.
