Peoria’s Paul Schwendel is making a comeback after a five-year break and an independent-league stint.

Most minor league baseball teams have an increased number of players on the Injured List in 2021, including the Cedar Rapids Kernels.

The Cedar Rapids Kernels first-year pro leads the minor leagues in walks, yet also has shown extra-base hit potential.

The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Peoria Chiefs were scoreless through nine innings. Wander Javier’s three-run homer in the 12th gave Cedar Rapids a 4-1 win.

He scored the only goal Wednesday night as the Tampa Bay Lightning won their second straight championship.

In his seventh pro season, the Cedar Rapids reliever was part of a sparkling bullpen performance in a 5-3 win over Peoria.

Alex Isola had a single, double, triple and three RBIs in a 10-2 thrashing of Peoria.
