Murakami Lands on 10-Day IL, White Sox Promote Jacob Gonzalez

His Grade 2 right hamstring strain is expected to sideline him about 4 to 6 weeks, forcing Chicago to plug the power hole with internal depth and test its lineup during a winning stretch.

Overview

  • Munetaka Murakami was placed on the White Sox 10-day injured list with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain and is projected to miss roughly 4 to 6 weeks, a move confirmed Saturday by team reports.
  • Chicago recalled infield prospect Jacob Gonzalez to the big-league roster to provide immediate depth and a left-handed power option after Murakami’s injury.
  • The White Sox still beat the Tigers 7-1 on Saturday for their fourth straight win and improved to 31-27, showing short-term momentum despite losing their primary power bat.
  • The Washington Nationals rallied for a 9-4 win over the San Diego Padres thanks to a six-run seventh inning on Saturday, a frame that included Padres manager Craig Stammen’s first career ejection and Fernando Tatis Jr.’s first homer of 2026.
  • Other late results included the Astros’ 9-2 win over the Brewers with Jeremy Peña and Christian Walker homering and the Phillies’ comeback 4-3 victory on Edmundo Sosa’s go-ahead two-run homer, illustrating how recent injuries and bench plays are reshaping several clubs’ short-term fortunes.
