Summary
Munetaka Murakami is finally back on the field after a hamstring injury sidelined him since late May, and he’s eager to rejoin the Chicago White Sox lineup. After feeling nearly 100% recovered, he began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte, playing five to seven innings. His return is being handled day by day, with manager Will Venable emphasizing flexibility and monitoring his progress. Murakami’s absence hasn’t hurt the team—Chicago remains atop the AL Central with a 17-15 record since his injury—and rookie Jacob Gonzalez has stepped in admirably at first base. Murakami, who was leading the AL in runs and tied for first in homers and RBIs before getting hurt, is grateful for the team’s support and determined to contribute fully when he returns, refusing to hold the team back.
