Buffalo Bisons News Release


The Buffalo Bisons announced today that they have activated USA Olympian and Bronze Medal Winner RHP Jeff Stevens for their game in Pawtucket. C Yamid Haad has also returned to the team and has been activated off the temporary inactive list.

In other roster moves, C Victor Martinez has finished his injury rehab assignment with the team and has been activated to the Cleveland Indians. C Armando Camacaro has been placed on the disabled list.

That victory got Team USA into the medal round.
