CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The Cedar Rapids Kernels and the Minnesota Twins announce that pitcher Matt Canterino is now on the seven-day injured list because of a right elbow strain. Brian Maloney, Minnesota Twins Senior Manager, Minor League Operations, disseminated the move.

Canterino went 1-0 with a 1.00 ERA over his first four starts with Cedar Rapids this season. He struck out 35 of his first 68 batters faced (51.5%) featuring a career-high 10 strikeouts in back-to-back outings May 21 versus the Beloit Snappers and May 28 against the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers
