Wednesday at 09:20 PM1 day Yea has been eerily quiet on the Mune front... Most recent update (at least that I see) was last Friday 6/26 taking BP/running at 85%Tomorrow is 1 day shy of 5 weeks and they said the 4-6 week timeframe was still on track. Would be an awesome surprise to see the announcement tomorrow but I'll hold my breath. I think we need the OG Mune champion @Chicago White Sox to will this into existence.

Don't want to mess with hammy'sI think a lot will depend on what happens the next four games in Cleveland.If the Sox do well they can afford to give him more time.If they crap the bed, I'm guessing his status will at least be discussed by the front office.
Wednesday at 11:05 PM1 day Two innings for Shane Smith, 34 pitches. 1 hit (single), no walks, 2K.Touching 97 with the heater.
Yesterday at 12:41 AM1 day Easy 1-2-3 with 2K for McDougalTouching 99 and looking like a better deadline pen add than many names on the market...

Don't want to mess with hammy'sIf Mune is running at or close to full speed ( at least one video looked like he is) and hitting without any leg pain, he could be activated tomorrow. Mune at DH with Gonzo at 1st. Ideally, the Sox need at least a split with Cleveland to keep the momentum going into All Star break. The line-up will finally be assembled. Go into Cleveland with all guns blazin' for the 4th of July holiday. Can't afford to give any more games away like they did in Game 3 with the O's. All aboard.

Venable said it a week ago or more that being out so long that usually requires a rehab stint in the minors. You don't want him presssing against the best pitchers when he's rusty. Even after a rehab stint he'll still be rusty.
13 hours ago13 hr For reference, Teel was in Charlotte for 4 games in June after missing almost all of ST and the first 10-12 weeks of the season (aside from his first rehab attempt of 4 games in May before hurting his knee).
13 hours ago13 hr No timetable? Come on Will. Give us some bread. I'd imagine the real answer is "after the ASB". Guess it is what it is.

12 hours ago12 hr I guess question is do they think he goes this week or is it a bit longer. No comment makes me worry there was a set back or he is still at least a week away…in which point…best case he rehabs and is back for first game after the all star break.
8 hours ago8 hr From Merk:“Yeah, he’s going to go for a couple of days,” said Venable of Murakami. “You know, there is still no timeline, but we have talked about [it] and he was out there running today. The last thing before you go on a rehab assignment is running the bases two days in a row and making sure you are running at high intensity.“But also on that second day be able to recover and do it again. He’s moving a lot closer to that. He was out there running curves today, which is an important step to get closer to running full speed on the bases.”Running the curves in the outfield is different from running the bases, as Venable explained.“He’s not yet running the bases, but that will happen before the rehab assignment,” Venable said. “We are getting closer to that is all I can tell you without a firm timeline when that is going to happen.”Sounds like maybe he'll be in Charlotte during the homestand
7 hours ago7 hr I hope they play it safe with murakami, outside of the occasional 1 or 2 run outing where they look flat, the issue all year has been pitching and nobody you can trust late in games
2 hours ago2 hr I want him back a week ago but I also take the long view and think that the way we handle his return could go a small way to helping us in negotiations for an extension.
