Cedar Rapids, IA - The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Minnesota Twins announce that OF Zack Granite has been placed on the 7-day DL, retroactive to April 7 and OF Jason Kanzler joins the Kernels from Extended Spring Training. Brad Steil, Director of Minor League Operations for the Twins, announced the move.

The Twins selected Kanzler in the 20th round of the 2013 First Year Player Draft out of the University of Buffalo. He played in 44 games with the GCL Twins last season, batting .220 with six triples, three HR, 15 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 14 attempts.
