DAYTON, OHIO-The Dayton Dragons announced the following roster changes today:

Right-handed pitcher Drew Cisco has been placed on the disabled list with a right shoulder strain, retroactive to August 23.

Right-handed pitcher Nick Fleece has been promoted to Dayton from Billings (Class: Rookie, Pioneer League)

The Dragons roster remains at the Midwest League limit of 25 players.

Fleece had an outstanding senior season in 2011 as the Aggies advanced to the College World Series and were ranked at one time as the #5 team in the country. He went 7-1 with a 1.41 ERA in 36 games with three saves and pitched in both CWS games that Texas A&M appeared in. Fleece was a tremendous two-way high school player.
