Salazar has been given a few days off besides the regular rest between starts.
"I've got some extra days to work on things that I need to work on," Salazar said on Tuesday to MLB.com. "I think that's fine. They told me that sometimes, if we have a day off like that, especially with Masterson, they might move me. It doesn't bother me."
Cleveland temporarily pulled John Axford out of the closer's role on Saturday due to his struggles this season with command. In his first appearance since receiving that news, Axford turned in a one-two-three inning with two groundouts and one strikeout against the Blue Jays on Tuesday. The right-hander needed only 10 pitches to get through the inning, according to MLB.com.
"It was a real good inning," Francona said. "For the most part, when he commands, he's really good. He's got good stuff. He's got a big breaking ball that, when he can work ahead in the count, he gets some chase on the breaking ball. He's run into some outings where, because of maybe walking or not throwing strikes, he's had to work out of binds or got himself into some trouble. The more he throws strikes, he's going to be just fine."
