Overview
- The White Sox will send Munetaka Murakami to their Triple‑A Charlotte affiliate next week for a rehab stint with games planned over roughly seven days.
- Murakami has been on the injured list since late May after suffering a Grade 2 right hamstring strain while trying to beat out a grounder.
- Before the injury he had provided major offense, hitting 20 home runs and posting a .938 OPS through 57 games this season.
- Manager Will Venable described the plan as day‑to‑day and cautious, saying the club may not play Murakami every scheduled game as they monitor his buildup.
- Chicago has remained competitive without him and views a successful rehab as a timely lift for the lineup and clubhouse leadership if he returns before the break.
