Phils acquire AAA pitcher Mazone; callup forthcoming?

The Phillies have acquired minor league pitcher Brian Mazone from the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team confirmed. Mazone is a former Phillies farmhand, and the move could very well be intended to plug a hole in the Lehigh Valley rotation if/when Carlos Carrasco, Drew Carpenter or Rodrigo Lopez is recalled to start Thursday or Friday or whenever they decide to use a youngster. I wouldn't be surprised by an announcement on that later today. Mazone, 32, is 0-1 with an 8.44 ERA in triple-A this season.

Believe Costanza was fired by the Yanks & had moved on to 'Play Now', with the handicapped restroom. The folks at 'Play Now' got rid of him for faking his disability & he & Jerry were back on to the sitcom with NBC when the series ended. Not sure what he's been doing since then, but he may be available. Phillies would look good in the all cotton unis, too.
