Mike Kenney joins Kernels from Rancho Cucamonga

Cedar Rapids, IA – The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim announce that RHP Mike Kenney will join the Kernels from Rancho Cucamonga. Abe Flores, Director of Player Development for the LA Angels, announced the move on Thursday.

Kenney was selected by the Angels in the 28th round of the 2008 Free Agent Draft out of Loyola Marymount University and spent 2009 at Rancho Cucamonga where he posted a 1-7 record and 5.54 ERA in 36 games (11 starts). In 87.2 IP, he allowed 102 hits and 56 runs (54 earned) with 40 walks and 66 strikeouts. He appeared in four games for the Quakes this season with no record and a 1.93 ERA in 4.2 IP.

Mike will join the team in Appleton, WI and be in uniform for tonight's 6:35 pm game against the Timber Rattlers.

To make room on the Kernels active roster, the Angels have given RHP C.J. Bressoud his unconditional release. The Kernels roster stands at the MWL maximum of 25 active players with no one on the disabled list.

The Kernels continue a nine game road trip with a 6:35 pm game tonight at Wisconsin. They return to Perfect Game Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Tuesday, April 27.
