## Resource

Munetaka Murakami is set to return to action, beginning his rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte Monday after a hamstring injury sidelined him mid-season. The 26-year-old slugger, who’s been a key force for the White Sox with 240 OPS, 20 homers, and 41 RBIs, could be back before the All-Star break — a major boost for a team that’s stayed competitive without him. Signed for $34M, Murakami’s return not only strengthens the lineup but energizes the roster, as manager Will Venable confirms his presence is vital both on and off the field.
