Frequently Asked Questions
Why was Jacob Gonzalez called up to the White Sox?
Gonzalez was called up to replace Munetaka Murakami, who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Murakami is out 4-6 weeks, creating a big hole in the lineup since he has 20 home runs and 41 RBIs this season.

When was Jacob Gonzalez drafted by the White Sox?
Gonzalez was the 15th overall pick in the 2023 draft after three successful years at Ole Miss. Despite his draft pedigree, his minor league career has been relatively disappointing until his recent hot streak.
