Munetaka Murakami is on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, opening extended playing time for a surging Jacob Gonzalez, who is hitting .317/.419/.668 with 19 homers in 52 Charlotte games and has earned spots on the White Sox’s 26-man and 40-man rosters.
The White Sox plan to add Jacob Gonzalez to the MLB roster after Munetaka Murakami is sidelined by a right hamstring injury, pending a 40-man move that could involve Jordan Leasure going to the 60-day IL. Gonzalez, a 2023 first-round pick from Ole Miss, has exploded in Triple-A Charlotte in 2026 with 18 homers in 54 games and a .308/.414/.646 line, leading the minors in homers and posting a strong OPS as he nears his 24th birthday debut; he’s versatile enough to handle shortstop and other infield duties, likely sharing the left side of the infield with Colson Montgomery while Murakami is out.
