CHICAGO — The Chicago White Sox<\/a> reinstated Austin Hays<\/a> from the 10-day injured list on Monday after the veteran outfielder was sidelined by a right hamstring strain.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old Hays got hurt while pursuing a flyball againstBaltimore<\/a>on April 6. Hays, who signed a $6 million, one-year contract with Chicago in free agency, is batting .219 with a homer and six RBIs in nine games this season.<\/p>\n

“He’s one of our experienced guys, our veteran guys, that has been through every situation out there,” White Sox manager Will Venable said before the team’s 8-7 victory<\/a>over the Los Angeles Angels<\/a>. “Our guys lean on for advice and wisdom and brings a ton of positive energy to our group.”<\/p>\n

Hays tested his hamstring with two games at Triple-A Charlotte. The White Sox decided to end his rehab stint after Tanner Murray<\/a> dislocated his left shoulder while making a diving catch againstWashington<\/a>on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Venable said he plans to ease Hays back into the lineup “to make sure he’s in a good spot.”<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Murray was placed on the 10-day IL, but he is expected to be sidelined for four to six months.<\/p>\n

“It’s significant. There’s a fracture in there he’ll have to have surgery,” Venable said.<\/p>\n

Murray, a fourth-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft, was acquired in a November trade withTampa Bay<\/a>. He is batting .214 (6-for-28) with a homer and three RBIs in 13 games after making his major league debut on April 5.<\/p>\n

“The news was definitely a little surprising,” Murray said. “Like I knew I didn’t feel good in the moment, but, yeah it was a little bit of a frustrating kind of trip to the doctor, I’d say.”<\/p>\n
