White Sox Munetaka Murakami leaves Tigers game with worrisome injury
Chicago White Sox fans held their collective breath on Friday night as first baseman/designated hitter Munetaka Murakami left Friday night’s game versus the Detroit Tigers with an injury. While legging out the fielder’s choice, Murakami came up, grabbing his right hamstring.
Manager Will Venable would pinch-run for Murakami, substituting infielder/outfielder Luisangel Acuna. During the White Sox broadcast, Venable said that “the hamstring grabbed on him a little bit.” Murakami went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before leaving the game versus the Detroit Tigers.

According to a team announcement on X, the 26-year-old will undergo further evaluation to see how much time he will miss. Hamstring injuries have plagued the White Sox this season, with outfielder Austin Hays (left calf strain) and catcher Kyle Teel also dealing with the same injury.
Teel is currently rehabbing his knee and should resume running on Saturday.
The Chicago White Sox will need Colson Montgomery to step up while Munetaka Murakami is out
Since signing his two-year ($34 million) contract in the offseason, Murakami has been the White Sox best hitter and has helped the offense take a step forward. Through 57 games, the Kumamoto, Japan native has an OPS of .938 (seventh in Major League Baseball) and mashed a mashed 20 home runs, which is tied with Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez.
Murakami’s performance at the plate this season has helped someone like shortstop Colson Montgomery not feel like he has to carry the offense. With the weight off his shoulders, Montgomery has done well, posting the third-best OPS on the team (.789) and is seven home runs behind his teammate for the team lead in home runs (13).
With Murakami down for sometime, Venable and the White Sox will need Montgomery to step up and carry the lineup until the favorite to win the American League Rookie of the Year returns.
