Chicago White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami will miss 4 to 6 weeks after being diagnosed with a right hamstring strain, according to multiple reports. The team has summoned MiLB slugger Gonzalez in response to Murakami's injury.
Murakami has hit 20 home runs in his first 57 MLB games, according to Japan Times Sports. The injury will sideline the player for approximately one to one and a half months as he recovers from the hamstring strain.
The White Sox moved to address the roster vacancy by calling up Gonzalez from the minor leagues. The promotion provides the team with additional depth during Murakami's absence.
Murakami's injury represents a notable loss for the White Sox lineup, as the slugger had recorded 20 home runs across his first 57 games in Major League Baseball. The timeline for his return will depend on his recovery and rehabilitation progress.
No further details regarding the circumstances of the injury or a specific return date were provided in the reports. The team has not issued additional statements beyond the initial injury announcement.
