Kernels make 5 roster moves

The Cedar Rapids Kernels will have a new look when they host the Burlington Bees Wednesday night.

The Kernels and Minnesota Twins announced Wednesday morning that pitchers Yorman Landa and Chris Mazza have been activated from the 7-day disabled list, first baseman Tyler Kuresa has rejoined the Kernels from Elizabethton, and catcher/first baseman Jorge Fernandez has been placed on the DL with a broken right hand.

The Kernels also confirmed that Brett Doe has been promoted to Fort Myers.

Landa pitched in one game for the Kernels at Peoria May 19. He has made seven appearances during a rehab assignment with the GCL Twins, posting a 1-0 record, 0.00 ERA and one save.

The Twins selected Mazza in the 27th round of the 2011 draft from Menlo Junior College. He made 25 relief appearances for the Kernels in 2014, posting a 4-4 record and 2.79 ERA. He has appeared in five games on a rehab assignment with the GCL Twins with no record and a 3.00 ERA.

Kuresa started the season with the Kernels and was assigned to Extended Spring Training on May 29. In 36 games with Cedar Rapids, he was batting .194 with a home run  and 11 RBIs. He played in 17 games at Elizabethton, batting .241 with four homers and nine RBIs.

Fernandez has played in 56 games for the Kernels and is batting .215 with three homers and 25 RBIs.

The Kernels currently have 24 players on their roster, which is one under the maximum.
