The Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters have traded outfielder Hiromi Oka to the Chiba Lotte Marines in exchange for left-handed pitcher Takahiro Fujioka, the teams announced Thursday.

In another trade announced the same day, the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks sent left-handed pitcher Yuya Iida to the Hanshin Tigers for right-hander Ryoma Matsuda.

The 27-year-old Oka, who has played in 245 games in five seasons for the Fighters, will provide the Marines with outfield depth following an injury to Takashi Ogino. The All-Star center fielder is expected to be out for at least another month after breaking his right index finger on July 9.
