White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: Blasts solo homer
Murakami went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts during an 8-2 loss to Cleveland on Friday.
Murakami stepped to the plate in the bottom of the sixth and swatted his 25th long ball of the season. His solo shot tied Colson Montgomery for the most on the club this season. The home run extended his on-base streak to 23 games, dating back to July 10. The 26-year-old has slashed .236/.369/.531 with 25 home runs and 52 RBI in 350 plate appearances this season.

White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: Belts two-run homer Friday
Murakami went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Friday's 6-1 win over Tampa Bay.
Murakami extended the White Sox's lead to 4-1 in the third inning with a two-run homer off Nick Martinez, and the slugger came around to score in the sixth on a deep ball from Colson Montgomery. The long ball was the 24th of the season for Murakami and extended his on-base streak to 17 games, during which he has gone 16-for-62 with four home runs, 10 RBI, five doubles and 16 runs scored.

White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: Tallies 23rd homer
Murakami went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and three runs scored Wednesday against the Yankees.
Murakami delivered a clutch home run in the eighth inning to tie the game at 4-4. He also scored a game-tying run in the 11th frame. After starting slowly following his return from the injured list in mid-July, Murakami is now in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 8-for-24 with three home runs, seven RBI and eight runs scored.

White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: Pops pair of homers
Murakami went 3-for-5 with two home runs, six RBI and three runs scored Sunday against the Astros.
Murakami was hitting only .184 with a 35.4 percent strikeout rate across his first 11 games since returning from the injured list, but he snapped out of that skid in impressive fashion Sunday. He popped a two-run and solo homer, and he also chipped in a two-RBI single. Murakami now has a modest three-game hitting streak with only two strikeouts in that span, so he looks to be regaining a rhythm at the plate.

White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: One hit in return
Murakami went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Athletics.
Murakami returned after roughly a six-week absence and struck out in four of his five at-bats. He delivered an RBI double in his other plate appearance, continuing the boom-or-bust profile he had displayed early in the season. Murakami also returned to hit second in the order, and he should retain a key spot in the lineup moving forward.

White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: Officially activated from IL
The White Sox activated Murakami (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Murakami suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain May 29 and ended up missing 35 games for Chicago. He appeared in two games with Triple-A Charlotte on a rehab assignment and went 2-for-7 at the plate with an RBI and a walk. Prior to his injury, Murakami was one of the hottest sluggers in the sport, blasting 20 homers with 41 RBI, 43 runs scored, 44 walks and a .938 OPS through his first 57 MLB games. The White Sox optioned Jacob Gonzalez to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: On track to return Friday
The White Sox are expected to activate Murakami (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Athletics, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
On the shelf since May 30 due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, Murakami appears poised to resume his outstanding rookie campaign this weekend after checking out well following two rehab games at Triple-A Charlotte. He's gone 2-for-7 with a double and a walk between the two contests and was able to play a full nine innings at first base Wednesday. Murakami's upcoming return from the IL is expected to most negatively affect fellow rookie Jacob Gonzalez, who had posted a .699 OPS in 29 games with the White Sox after stepping in for Murakami as the team's primary first baseman.

White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: Beginning rehab stint Monday
Murakami (hamstring) will report to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday to begin a minor-league rehab assignment, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
Murakami suffered a Grade 2 right hamstring strain in late May and landed on the 10-day injured list. The star rookie will likely need a couple of games in the minors to get his timing back at the plate, but he appears on track to rejoin the big-league squad before the All-Star break. Jacob Gonzalez has been hitting well over the past few weeks as Chicago's primary first baseman, but he'll likely lose out on playing time when Murakami is activated.
