The Chicago White Sox placed rookie slugger Munetaka Murakami on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained right hamstring.

The 26-year-old first baseman, who shares the American League lead with 20 homers, sustained the injury in Friday’s home win against the Detroit Tigers.

Murakami grabbed his hamstring after hustling down the first base line to beat out a double play in the third inning. He was removed from the game and walked gingerly to the dugout without assistance; pinch runner Luisangel Acuna replaced him. An MRI on Saturday confirmed the injury.

Murakami is batting .240 with 41 RBIs and leads the AL with 43 runs scored through 57 games in his first year in the majors. The Japanese star signed a two-year, $34 million contract in December.

In corresponding transactions, Chicago selected the contract of infielder Jacob Gonzalez from Triple-A Charlotte and transferred right-hander Jordan Leasure (right flexor strain) to the 60-day injured list.

Gonzalez, who is celebrating his 24th birthday, was not in the starting lineup for Saturday’s matinee with the visiting Detroit Tigers. He is ranked as Chicago’s No. 23 prospect by MLB Pipeline.

A first-round pick (15th overall) by Chicago in 2023 out of Ole Miss, Gonzalez is slashing .317/.419/.668 with 19 home runs and 62 RBIs in 52 games at Charlotte this season. He leads the minor leagues in RBIs and total bases (133) and is tied for the lead in homers through Friday.

Most of Gonzalez’s starts in the minors have been at shortstop, although he has started five games this season at first base and five at second base.

Gonzalez could become just the second player in White Sox history to make his major league debut on his birthday, joining left-hander Ken Patterson on July 8, 1988.

Ethan Holliday, the top prospect of the Colorado Rockies, will undergo left foot surgery and be out for the season, MLB.com reported.

The 19-year-old shortstop, who was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, suffered a stress fracture and was put on the injured list by Single-A Fresno. He has not played since May 20.

It is unclear when and how the injury occurred, per the report. The Rockies have yet to announce the surgery.

Holliday, drafted out of Oklahoma’s Stillwater High School, signed with the Rockies for a $9 million bonus — the largest bonus ever for a high schooler. He started his pro career at Fresno after the draft and returned there this spring.

He will end this season with a .262 batting average with nine home runs and 32 RBIs in 33 games. Before the injury, he was enjoying a solid May, hitting .295 with six homers, four doubles and a triple in 15 games.

MLB Pipeline lists him as the No. 17 overall prospect with an estimated arrival in the major leagues in 2029. At 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, Holliday is expected to move to third base down the line.

His older brother, Jackson Holliday, was the No. 1 pick of the 2022 MLB Draft by the Baltimore Orioles. Also an infielder, Jackson recently made his season debut, after being sidelined with a fractured hamate bone sustained in batting practice prior to the start of spring training in February.

In 10 games in 2026, he is hitting .259 with two homers and five RBIs.

Their father, Matt Holliday, was a seven-time All-Star who played for four teams but is best known for his long stays with the Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals.
