TOKYO — Well, that didn’t take long.

Immediately at the conclusion of Wednesday’s game against the A’s, the Red Sox — as expected — optioned outfielder Brandon Moss to Pawtucket (International League). Moss played in both of the games here against Oakland in place of the injured J.D. Drew.

He hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning of Tuesday’s opener, and also had driven in a run earlier in the game. But on Wednesday he struck out three times and was pinch-hit for by Sean Casey in the ninth inning.

The Sox now have 26 players on the active roster.
