The Chicago White Sox, who were swept without producing an extra-base hit vs. the Boston Red Sox, get much-needed help with slugger Munetka Murakami officially reinstated from the IL after missing the last 35 games.The White Sox went 17-18 in his absence.— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) July 10, 2026He is expected to get the start tonight at home against the Athletics. This is a huge addition for the White Sox, who are currently tied for first place in the AL Central with the Cleveland Guardians. Chicago's manager Will Venable spoke about getting their star back.
"He's ready to go," Venable said. "He was challenged running the bases, defensively, had a really long game yesterday. So, feel good about the workload, recovered well today so he's ready to go...
We understand the impact he makes on the field and in the clubhouse so to activate him is going to mean a lot for our group. Really excited about him."
