Murakami Returns as White Sox Need Spark | MLB News
Description
Munetaka Murakami is back in the Chicago White Sox lineup after a hamstring injury sidelined him since May 29th, and his return could be the spark the team needs as they battle for the AL Central lead. The rookie, who was crushing it before the injury—leading the league with 20 homers, 41 RBIs, and a .999 batting average—has shown progress in rehab games and is set to start Friday. With the Sox on a three-game losing streak and struggling to score runs, teammates like Andrew Benintendi say Murakami’s energy and presence could turn things around. Signed for $34M over two years, Murakami’s return comes as the team’s record while he was out was 17-18.
