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

Means suffered a broken finger in the first inning of Wednesday's game at Beloit and will be out indefinitely.

LaMarre (pronounced la-MAR) played college baseball for three seasons (2008-'10) at the University of Michigan. In 2010, he was selected to the All-Big Ten First Team and All-Big Ten Tournament team. He was also honored with the Bill Freehan Award as the Wolverines' top hitter. He was selected All-Big Ten Second Team in 2009.

LaMarre earned 12 varsity letters in high school in Jackson, Michigan, including four each in baseball, football, and hockey. He was a three-time all-state selection in baseball and set the school career home run record with 38. In football, he finished as his school's career leader in tackles and played on back-to-back state championship teams in 2003-'04. In hockey, he was his team captain and most valuable player as both a junior and senior.
