ESPN MLB reports that CHICAGO -- Chicago White Sox first baseman Munetaka Murakami left Friday's 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers in the third inning because of right hamstring tightness.
Murakami was undergoing further evaluation to determine the severity of the injury, according to a team announcement.
Murakami, 26, was legging out a possible double-play grounder hit to Detroit second baseman Zach McKinstry.
The Tigers recorded a forceout at second base but Murakami beat Zack Short's relay throw to first, keeping the inning alive.
However, Murakami grabbed at his right hamstring as the White Sox medical staff, manager Will Venable and interpreter Kenzo Yagi ran onto the field.
After a brief conversation, Murakami left the game, occasionally grabbing at the hamstring as he walked.
