Anthony Prato Transferred to Kernels

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – The Cedar Rapids Kernels, in conjunction with the Minnesota Twins, announce that Anthony Prato has been added to the active roster after being reinstated from the seven-day injured list of the Low-A Fort Myers Mighty Mussels following the completion of his rehab assignment with the Rookie-Level Florida Complex League Twins. Brian Maloney, Twins Senior Manager, Minor League Operations, disseminated the move.

Prato recently participated in five games for the FCL Twins this month. He made his first 28 appearances this season with the Mighty Mussels before landing on the seven-day injured list in June.
