The Buffalo Bisons today announced that RHP ELMER DESSENS has been activated off the team’s disabled list. Dessens was placed on the DL with a left hamstring strain on April 23 and missed eight games.
To make roster room, the Mets announced that LHP TRAVIS BLACKLEY has been released.
Dessens, 39, is 3-0 with a 1.29ERA and two saves in five relief appearances for the Bisons this year. He’s tied the team lead in both wins and saves. Dessens left the Bisons game against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on April 20 in the ninth inning after delivering a called strike three to Yankees’ hitter Chad Huffman.
Dessens saved a team-high 11 games for Buffalo in 2009 before pitching in 28 games with the New York Mets.
Blackley posted an 8.53ERA in four appearances and 6.1 innings of work for Buffalo.
