Was tied for the AL HR lead with 20 at the time of injury.

Grade 2 right hamstring strain suffered May 29 while running out a fielder's choice grounder. Manager Venable confirmed a 4–6 week timeline; White Sox optimistic he's on the shorter end given the injury site. Murakami was batting .240/.378/.560 with a 161 OPS+ and 20 HR — tied for the AL lead — when he exited.

The NPB import is finding his footing — 3-for-5 with a homer and 4 RBI. The raw power is 40+ HR caliber and the White Sox are giving him everyday reps. Should be rostered in every 12-team league.
