Chicago White Sox

Munetaka Murakami

1B

Murakami received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his Grade 2 right hamstring strain after landing on the shelf in late May, after which he was given an initial recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. The 29-year-old may require a minor-league rehab assignment before coming off the injured list, but he appears to be tracking toward a return before the All-Star break.

Everson Pereira

RF

Pereira has been shelved since late April with a right pectoral strain but has been cleared to return after going 5-for-14 with a pair of home runs in four rehab games with Triple-A Charlotte. The right-handed-swinging Pereira should play a decent amount in the Chicago outfield, especially versus left-handed pitching.

Hagen Smith

SP

Smith will require two weeks to get ramped back up following the shutdown period, so he's looking at four weeks away from games in a best-case scenario. The left-hander had seemed close to getting his first opportunity at the major-league level, but that will not happen anytime soon now. Smith has collected a 4.67 ERA and 77:36 K:BB over 52 innings covering 14 starts with Triple-A Charlotte in 2026.

Kyle Teel

C

Teel will attempt to launch a rehab assignment once again after suffering a sprained LCL while on a previous minor-league rehab assignment in late May. The catcher sustained a hamstring injury during the World Baseball Classic before tacking on the knee issue last month. Teel will have plenty of rust to work off with Charlotte, but he is now on the precise of making his 2026 regular-season debut with the White Sox.

Noah Schultz

SP

Schultz completed a bullpen session session Wednesday, and he will now return to the mound with the Triple-A squad. The southpaw has been sidelined since late May while nursing right knee patellar tendinitis, and he'll likely need to make multiple starts with Charlotte before rejoining the major-league roster. Schultz posted an inflated 9.87 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 17.1 innings in his last four outings before being placed on the 15-day injured list, and he'll look to use his rehab outings as a chance to find his form again.

Tim Elko

1B

no

Tyler Gilbert

RP

Gilbert retired one of three batters faced in Tuesday's extra-innings win over Atlanta and finds himself on the IL a day later. Chris Murphy will take over Gilbert's vacated roster spot.

Austin Hays

LF

Hays had played seven rehab contests with Charlotte, but the left calf strain that sent him to the 10-day injured list in early May is still giving him trouble. He'll meet with the White Sox's training staff and develop a plan of attack for his rehab moving forward. Hays has been limited to only 12 games for Chicago this season because of hamstring and calf issues.

Jordan Leasure

RP

Leasure said his UCL is intact, but he's dealing with a lot of inflammation and has been diagnosed with a right flexor strain. Leasure was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday but is looking at an extended absence into July.

Ky Bush

SP

Bush underwent surgery in February of 2025, so he should be nearing a return on a typical timeline. The nature of his setback is unclear, but he doesn't seem to be particularly close to a return.

Drew Thorpe

SP

Thorpe had been ramping up in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, but the appendectomy will slow his return. An exact timeline is unclear, but Thorpe has yet to begin a rehab assignment.

Prelander Berroa

RP

Berroa underwent Tommy John surgery last March and was just recently cleared to begin a rehab assignment. He begin that stint with Chicago's ACL club Wednesday but threw only four pitches (all balls) before being removed. Berroa has since been diagnosed with right elbow inflammation, and it's unclear when he'll be able to resume throwing.

Mike Vasil

RP

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Dustin Harris, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte. Vasil underwent Tommy John surgery in March and will be sidelined until around the middle of the 2027 season.

Tanner Murray

LF

The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Randal Grichuk, who signed a one-year major-league deal with the White Sox on Monday. Murray suffered a left shoulder dislocation and fracture while making a diving catch in left field against the Nationals in late April. His recovery timeline was initially set at 4-to-6 months, which means he won't be available to return until at least late August.

Mason Adams

RP

Adams, 25, would have had a chance to reach the majors in 2025 if he was healthy, but now he's likely to out until at least midseason of 2026. He posted a 2.92 ERA and 110:28 K:BB over 120.1 innings between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte in 2024.

Brooks Baldwin

LF

The transaction is merely a formality, as Baldwin is already slated to miss the rest of the season after undergoing internal brace surgery on his right elbow last Wednesday. The utility player will cede his spot on the White Sox's 40-man roster to left-hander Tyler Schweitzer, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte.
