Dodgers' Wrobleski, White Sox OF Peters added as All-Stars - ESPN

Peters joins White Sox teammates Miguel Vargas and Munetaka Murakami on the All-Star roster. Murakami, a rookie slugger from Japan, was added Friday just hours before he returned to action against the Athletics after missing six weeks with a right hamstring strain.

Still a rookie at 26, speedy, slick-fielding Peters is batting .303 with six homers and 35 RBIs in his first full major league season.
