The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Minnesota Twins announced Thursday that infielder Blake Schmit has been placed on the 7-day disabled list with a left facial fracture.

Schmit suffered the injury in the eighth inning of Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Great Lakes when he was hit on the helmet by a 95 mph fastball. He was taken by ambulance to Mercy Hospital for treatment.

He is hitting .226 with a home run and 12 RBIs for the Kernels this season.

The Twins did not announce a corresponding move. With Thursday's transaction, the Kernels roster is at 24 active players, one below the Midwest League maximum of 25.

Thursday night's game between the Kernels and Great Lakes was postponed by rain. The teams have scheduled a doubleheader for 5:30 p.m. Friday.
