Episode Details

Munetaka Murakami is set to return to the White Sox lineup this Friday after a hamstring injury sidelined him since May 29th — a Grade Two tear suffered while trying to beat out a double play in Detroit. He’s shown strong progress in rehab games at Triple-A Charlotte, playing full games and going 2-for-7 overall. His return comes at the perfect time as the White Sox gear up for their final series before the All-Star break, and his power — 20 homers and 41 RBIs before the injury — will be a major boost. With the team currently tied for first in their division and on an unexpected surge after years of losing, Murakami’s comeback adds even more momentum to their surprising season. His $34 million, two-year deal is already paying off — and he likely would’ve earned an All-Star nod had he stayed healthy.
