Garcia, Lieber and Ryan Buddie are DL bound.

[all4phillysportsfan]

The Phillies still have yet to decide on a 25th player. Joe Bienscius has been told to stay in Philadelphia overnight.

[all4phillysportsfan]

The Phillies have recalled Bienscius from AAA Ottawa, he will be the 25th man on the roster.

[all4phillysportsfan]

Chris Coste optioned to AAA Ottawa.

[all4phillysportsfan]

Zach Segovia and Joe Bienscius have also been optioned to AAA Ottawa. This will make way for Lieber and the newly acquired Francisco Rosario.

[fire_bettman]

Chris Coste optioned to AAA Ottawa.

is this a rehab assignment ?

[all4phillysportsfan]

nope it's not. He was activated on the DL on Saturday.

[fire_bettman]

that sucks i think he is the best catcher we have on a consistant basis

[all4phillysportsfan]

I agree. I guess management thought last season was a fluke. I tend to disgaree.

[fire_bettman]

i was listening briefly to wip on the way home tonight and we arent the only fans that think that way

[all4phillysportsfan]

Coste belongs on this team. Some of these clowns that are in the bullpen do not.

[all4phillysportsfan]

Phillies desiginated Clay Condrey for assignment and have activated Freddy Garcia from the DL.

[all4phillysportsfan]

Rule 5 pick C Ryan Buddie has been returned to the Angels.

[all4phillysportsfan]

Phillies option Matt Smith to the Minors and recall Fabio Castro.
