Brown (achilles) may be activated off the disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. Brown's progression is coming along more slowly than anticipated, and the club may elect to take that route with him if they feel he's not yet ready to face major league pitching. He's expected to max out his rehab eligibility, at which point the club will have to decide what to do with Brown.
