## Resource

The Chicago White Sox are surging with a 46-42 record and tied for first in their division, thanks in large part to rookie slugger Munetaka Murakami—now set to return from injury. Scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Murakami’s comeback could happen before the All-Star break, bringing not just power (20 homers, 41 RBI before the injury) but a major morale boost. Manager Will Venable praised his impact, and the team plans a cautious, day-by-day return to ensure Murakami’s full recovery. With a big series against the Guardians looming, the White Sox are eager to have their offensive spark back in the lineup.
