Casey active, after all

TOKYO -- Sean Casey, who had been expected to be one of three inactive Red Sox players for the two-game series here, is on the 25-man active list after all.

Casey has been hampered by a severely stiff neck, incurred during the 17-hour flight here last week.

To make room for Casey, the Sox optioned Dusty Brown to Pawtucket.

The Sox wanted to have three catchers here in the event of an injury. Brown will remain with the team today and tomorrow. In the event that something should happen to either Jason Varitek or backup Kevin Cash, the Sox could option Brandon Moss to Pawtucket and call up Brown.
