White Sox May Move Murakami to IL, Promote Jacob Gonzalez

Munetaka Murakami is tied for the AL lead with 20 homers. The White Sox are weighing a stint on the injured list for the Japanese slugger.

At the same time, they are set to promote top prospect Jacob Gonzalez to the major‑league roster. Gonzalez’s speed and contact skills could add depth to the outfield.

The move may also give the club flexibility as the race for the postseason intensifies.
