Sept. 4 -- GORDON IN, MATHIESON OUT

A few notes before the first game of today's doubleheader:

The Phillies activated closer Tom Gordon from the 15-day disabled list and placed rookie right-hander Scott Mathieson on the 15-day DL. No word yet on Mathieson's MRI exam. But there are whispers that, because of his excessive workload this season (164.1 innings, not including the World Baseball Classic), the Phillies may shut him down regardless of the MRI results.

Also, the Phillies have recalled relievers Clay Condrey and Brian Sanches from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to help with the doubleheader.

More later.
