Nolasco will make rehab start for Kernels

The Minnesota Twins announced Sunday that right-hander Ricky Nolasco will make an MLB rehab start with the Cedar Rapids Kernels when they take on the Kane County Cougars on Saturday, April 25 at 2:05 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Nolasco will be making his second rehab stint with the Kernels. He made two starts (both no-decisions) last year with a 2.89 ERA, allowing three runs on 10 hits, walking one and striking out eight in 9.1 innings.

Nolasco, 32, has a 95-88 record and 4.51 ERA in 10 years in the Major Leagues. He is currently on the 15-Day Disabled List with elbow inflammation. He has pitched in one game this year, allowing six runs in three-plus innings against Detroit.

The Twins also announced Sunday that right-hander Miles Nordgren will be joining the Kernels from Extended Spring Training. He replaces John Curtiss on the 25-man roster. Curtiss is currently on the 7-Day Disabled List with a concussion.

The Twins picked Nordgren in the 23rd round of the 2014 draft from Birmingham Southern. He compiled a 1-3 record and 2.23 ERA in the Gulf Coast League last summer.
