Story summary

The White Sox reinstated outfielder Austin Hays from the 10-day injured list and placed left-fielder Tanner Murray on it on Monday.
Murray suffered a dislocated left shoulder with a fracture, will have surgery, and is projected to miss four to six months.
Manager Will Venable said Hays provides veteran advice and positive energy, will be eased back, and is expected to boost the outfield’s low power.

History

Historical Context

The 1919 Chicago White Sox, after winning 88 games, lost the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds amid a scheme that led to eight players being permanently banned and prompted the creation of the MLB Commissioner’s office, filled by Kenesaw Mountain Landis in 1920. In 2024, the franchise again adjusts its roster as Austin Hays returns and Tanner Murray begins a six-month rehab.
