Sulbaran joins Kernels pitching staff

Miguel Sulbaran is switching teams in the Midwest League and will join the Cedar Rapids Kernels, according to reports by FOX News and the Associated Press.

Sulbaran, 19, is a left-handed pitcher who has been a member of the Great Lakes Loons (a Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate) in the Midwest League this season. The Minnesota Twins acquired Sulbaran in a trade with the Dodgers and reportedly have assigned him to the Kernels.

Sulbaran, a native of Venezuela, went 6-4 with a 3.01 ERA in 23 appearances for the Loons with 16 starts. He has a low-90's fastball, curveball, slider and changeup.

The Twins sent catcher Drew Butera, who spent most of the season at Triple-A Rochester, to the Dodgers in late July for a player to be named later. On Tuesday, the Twins announced they had received Sulbaran to complete the trade.
