A native of Miami, Florida, Cabezas went 2-1 with a 3.13 earned run average over eight appearances including seven starts. His last outing was a shutout start of five scoreless innings in a 1-0 combined four-hitter June 23 versus the Lansing Lugnuts to cap a doubleheader sweep. The right-hander was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 18th round of the 2018 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Miami.

Following the latest Kernels move, Cedar Rapids has 26 active players on the roster along with six individuals on the injured list and one person on the restricted list.
