TOKYO -- The Red Sox were just introduced here and there appears to be a last-minute lineup change.

J.D. Drew had been in the original lineup -- in right field, batting sixth -- but Brandon Moss was just introduced in that spot as the teams took the field here at the Tokyo Dome.

Now comes word that Drew was scratched because of lower back tightness. Drew had a monster weekend in exhibition play, hitting two homers and knocking in seven RBI.
