Strikes out twice Saturday
Murakami went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts during the White Sox's 2-0 loss to the Royals on Saturday.
Analyse
Murakami opened his first MLB season strongly with three home runs in three consecutive games and was up to four homers and seven RBI through eight contests. However, he has cooled off at the plate of late, going 1-for-20 with six walks, three runs scored and nine strikeouts in his past seven games. These types of growing pains are to be expected for Murakami, but he'll have plenty of runway to work on his game after signing a two-year, $34 million contract with the White Sox in December.

Receiving first day off
Murakami is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
Analyse
The 26-year-old started the White Sox's first 10 games of the season but will take a seat after going 2-for-16 in the past five contests. Murakami has showcased his power upside already with four homers, but his swing-and-miss propensity has also been evident in the form of a 31.0 percent strikeout rate. Lenyn Sosa is taking over at first base Tuesday for Chicago.
