Jeremy Berg promoted to Rancho Cucamonga

Cedar Rapids, IA - The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim announce that RHP Jeremy Berg has been promoted to Rancho Cucamonga of the California League and that RHP Young-Il Jung will join the Kernels from Extended Spring Training in Tempe, AZ. Abe Flores, Director of Player Development for the LA Angels, announced the move on Sunday.

The Angels signed Jung, 21, as a non-drafted free agent in July of 2006. The native of Kwangu City, South Korea has only pitched in five games in his professional career, appearing in two games for the AZL Angels last year, both in relief.

Berg made 16 appearances out of the Kernels bullpen with a 1.17 ERA and four saves. In 23 IP, he allowed 17 hits and four runs (three earned) with four walks and 20 strikeouts. He was selected as a reserve to the 2010 MWL Western Division All-Star team.

Jung will be in uniform and available for today's 2:05 pm game with South Bend. With today's transactions, the Kernels roster is at the MWL maximum of 25 active players with one player currently on the disabled list.

The Kernels are in the midst of a 13-game, 13-day home stand and host South Bend today at Perfect Game Field. Game time is 2:05 pm with the gates opening at 1 pm. Tickets may be purchased on-line at www.kernels.com, or by calling the Kernels Ticket Office at 896-7560 after 11 am on Sunday.
