PHOENIX -- The Colorado Rockies have activated closer John Axford from the family emergency medical leave list.
It was his second time on that list this season. The first came on April 14 shortly after his 2-year-old son was hospitalized with rattlesnake bites. Axford was placed back on the list Tuesday, but the team said it was not related to his son, who it said is doing fine.
Axford is 1-1 with 13 saves and a 2.42 ERA in 24 appearances this season.
To make room, the Rockies optioned right-hander Justin Miller to Triple-A Albuquerque.
