Cubs acquire catcher Wilson; Mazzoni DFA'd

ATLANTA -- The Cubs found a third catcher for the stretch run on Thursday when they acquired Bobby Wilson from the Twins for Minor League catcher Chris Gimenez and a player to be named later or cash.

To make room for Wilson on the 40-man roster, the Cubs designated right-hander Cory Mazzoni for assignment. Wilson will join the team over the weekend when rosters expand.
