Cedar Rapids, IA - The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Minnesota Twins announce that RHP Calvin Faucher has been promoted to Fort Myers of the Florida State League and RHP Carlos Suniaga will join the Kernels from Fort Myers. Jeremy Zoll, Twins Director of Minor League Operations, announced the move.
The Twins signed Suniaga as a non-drafted free agent on September 19, 2014 and he split time last season between the GCL Twins and Elizabethton. With Elizabethton, he posted a 4-0 record and 1.69 ERA in 11 appearances (six starts) with one save. In 48 IP, he allowed 36 hits and 11 runs (nine earned) with 12 walks and 38 strikeouts.
