Munetaka Murakami Out of White Sox Lineup Today
Beat reporter Scott Merkin reports Murakami is getting a day off for Chicago; no further details on the reason or duration have been provided.
Munetaka Murakami is out of the White Sox lineup today, according to Chicago beat reporter Scott Merkin.
Merkin's report frames it as a day off rather than an injury, though no additional context — roster move, physical issue, or otherwise — has been attached to the news. Until the White Sox say more, this is a scheduled rest day and nothing beyond that.
What to watch
Whether Murakami returns to the lineup in the next game is the only open question here. Nothing in the report suggests this extends further.
