The Chicago White Sox reinstated rookie slugger Munetaka Murakami from the 10-day injured list on Friday.
The 26-year-old first baseman has missed the last 35 games with a strained right hamstring.
At the time of his injury on May 29, Murakami was tied for the American League lead in homers (20) and RBIs (41).
Murakami is batting .240 with a .938 OPS and 43 runs scored in 57 games this season with the White Sox.
Chicago optioned first baseman Jacob Gonzalez, 24, to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding transaction.
The 2023 first-round pick made his MLB debut on May 31 and has batted .244 with two homers and 17 RBIs in 30 games.
