John Axford is no longer the closer for the Milwaukee Brewers.

The team has turned to Jim Henderson, who converted his first save chance on Monday against the Chicago Cubs.

Axford has allowed four home runs this season and has a 20.25 ERA in three outings.

"I told [Axford] that I want him to be our closer," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "How we think is the best way to get him back in that role is pretty much what we did with him last year -- put him back in wherever it's going to be: sixth [inning], seventh, maybe eighth, and let him get his stuff back.

"Once he gets his stuff back, we'd like him back in that role."
