Looked at clutch ratings and Akin is dead last on the team in high leverage situations. But he's the best pitcher on the team in low leverage situations. You need someone to get 2-3 clean innings in a low leverage situation, he's money.

Statistically Cano, Webb and Akin are similar, but Webb is far and away the best on the team (except Coulombe) in high leverage, while he struggles more than Cano or Akin in low leverage. 

This is the best take so far.

Akin will be back. For now I'm glad we get to see more of Birch Smith who has been excellent for us. 

Exactly it was was one of two. If it was Smith that got DFA that would be cause for concern.
