The wheels of change are rollin’, baby! The Red Sox announced about an hour ago that Wily Mo Pena is a major league man again, coming off his June 1 wrist surgery. Not surprisingly, with Pena’s return from the DL, the lesser Willie (Harris) found himself out of a job – he’s been DFA’ed and the Sox will most likely send him to the first team that offers a side of beef and a handful of Foxwoods tokens in exchange. Pena, who’s been rehabbing in Pawtucket, brought Jermaine Van Buren with him on the bus up; Van Buren has been tearing things up in Rhode Island, throwing scoreless ball with three saves for his past nine innings (seven appearances). Heading down south is young Javier Lopez, for his first Pawtucket stint ever; Lopez, whose output has been decent but slightly inconsistent, will hopefully get some seasoning in AAA.
