Canadian John Axford suffered an elbow injury in his first MLB appearance since 2018, hours after the Brewers acquired him in a trade with the Blue Jays.
's comeback attempt has taken a detour from Toronto to Milwaukee, where the veteran right-hander started his major league career and had his greatest success.The Brewers acquired the 38-year-old Axford from the Blue Jays for $1 on Monday. He made his first major league appearance since 2018 later that night but retired just one of the five batters he faced before leaving with an elbow problem.
"Two days ago, I heard Brewers were interested and they wanted to bring me to the big leagues. So after that, it was just kind of formulating how that was going to work, and the Brewers and the Blue Jays talked, and now I'm here." Axford collected 106 saves during his previous five-year stint in Milwaukee and ranks second to Dan Plesac on the franchise's career saves list.
