Chicago White Sox officially place Munetaka Murakami on 10-day IL
The Chicago White Sox won in dramatic fashion on Friday night. After falling behind 2-0 early to the Detroit Tigers, they were able to finally tie the game in the ninth inning, which sent the game into extra innings. After falling behind 3-2 in the tenth, Miguel Vargas hit a walk-off two-run home run to give Chicago the 4-3 victory.
Unfortunately for the White Sox, the win came at a staggering cost. Munetaka Murakami, their most feared hitter, suffered a hamstring injury and had to be removed from the game.
The Chicago White Sox place Munetaka Murakami on the 10-day IL, call up Jacob Gonzalez
Murakami strained his hamstring while trying to beat out a grounder. He was removed from the game, and it was reported that he likely would be out for a couple of weeks.
On Saturday morning, that news became official:
— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) May 30, 2026
Murakami is currently hitting .240/.378/.560 with 20 home runs and 41 RBI. His 20 home runs lead the American League, as do the 43 runs he has scored so far this season.
To replace Murakami on the Major League roster, Chicago has called up Jacob Gonzalez. A first round pick in the 2023 amateur draft, Gonzalez plays both shortstop and second base.
In 52 games played at Triple-A this year, Gonzalez is hitting .317/.419/.668 with 19 home runs and 62 RBI. Clearly, he is has proven everything there is to prove down in the minors, and is ready for his shot in the Majors.
To make room for Gonzalez on the 40-man roster, the White Sox moved injured pitcher Jordan Leasure to the 60-day injured list.
In their first lineup without Murakami this season, Chicago has decided that Miguel Vargas will start at first base.
