Munetaka Murakami left the Chicago White Sox<\/a>\u2019s 4-3 victory against the Detroit Tigers<\/a> in the third inning on Friday, May 29, with hamstring tightness.<\/p>\n

He hit the ball to center field and ran through first base before he was seen reaching for his hamstring. White Sox manager Will Venable, the team\u2019s medical staff and Murakami\u2019s interpreter, Kenzo Yagi, all ran onto the field after the play.<\/p>\n

After the game, Venable called Murakami’s injury a “little hamstring strain on the initial evaluation\u201d and said the first baseman will likely miss time. “Probably a couple weeks,” Venable said.<\/p>\n

Murakami is expected to get more imaging done Saturday.<\/p>\n

Venable wouldn\u2019t commit to an official decision when asked whether Murakami would be placed on the injured list.<\/p>\n

The Japanese star declined to talk with the media after the game, but a White Sox spokesperson stated that he would be available to talk before Saturday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

The White Sox entered Friday\u2019s game with the fourth-best record in the American League. Chicago now has a 30-27 overall record after its walk-off win in 10 innings.<\/p>\n
