Chunichi Dragons outfielder Kosuke Fukudome has been replaced by Yokohama BayStars outfielder Tatsuhiko Kinjo on the Central League roster for the upcoming All-Star series because of a knee injury, organizers said on Wednesday.
Kinjo will make his second straight All-Star appearance and third overall in the games at Jingu Stadium on Friday and Sun Marine Stadium in Miyazaki on Saturday.
