Munetaka Murakami Resting on Tuesday
Chicago White Sox third baseman Munetaka Murakami is getting the day off on Tuesday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles, according to MLB.com. Lenyn Sosa will make the start at the hot corner for the Pale Hose and will hit second against Orioles left-hander Trevor Rogers. This will be Murakami's first day off of the year. The 26-year-old Japanese infielder has gone just 7-for-34 (.206) in his first 10 major-league games, but he's provided plenty of power for fantasy managers, slugging four home runs and driving in seven while scoring eight runs in his 42 plate appearances. He's added seven walks while striking out 13 times. Murakami has hit a bit of a rough patch of late after his strong start, going 2-for-16 in the last five games, so the White Sox will give him a breather against a left-hander. If Murakami doesn't lower his strikeout rate, he's going to be a drain on fantasy managers' batting average while still providing solid power potential.
