Akin has actually had a nice season, overall, posting a solid 3.40 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 71 strikeouts across 76.2 innings of work. Once a former starter, Akin has made just one start this season, making 41 relief appearances, converting two saves and posting a 3-3 record. 

The twenty-seven-year-old will head down to the minors, where he holds a career 3.81 ERA over 378 innings and 80 starts. 

Akin is a former second-round pick by the Baltimore Orioles in the 2016 MLB Draft.
