Cedar Rapids, IA - The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Minnesota Twins announce that RHP Griffin Jax has been placed on the military leave list as he reports for active duty with the U.S. Air Force. Brad Steil, Director of Minor League Operations for the Twins, announced the move.
Jax has made four starts for the Kernels this season, posting a 2-1 record and 2.39 ERA. In 26.1 IP, he allowed 19 hits and seven runs (all earned) with seven walks and 13 strikeouts. He was selected by the Twins in the third round of the 2016 First Year Player Draft out of the U.S. Air Force Academy.
The Twins did not announce a corresponding move. With today's transaction, the Kernels roster is at 24 active players, one below the Midwest League maximum of 25, with four players currently on the DL and one player currently on the military leave list.

The Kernels begin a three-game road trip tonight in Peoria at 7:00 PM. They return to Perfect Game Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Saturday, July 29th to open a seven-game home stand against Clinton and Kane County that continues through Friday, August 4th.
