Pena and Van Buren coming, Harris and Lopez going

BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox activated outfielder Wily Mo Pena from the 15-day disabled list and recalled right-hander Jermaine Van Buren from Triple-A Pawtucket in time for Tuesday night's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Left-hander Javier Lopez was optioned to Triple-A after Monday night's game and infielder Willie Harris was designated for assignment.
