What happened: The Mastercard All-Star Red Carpet Show took place in Philadelphia ahead of tonight's 96th MLB All-Star Game. Murakami was named to the American League active roster on July 11 alongside Ivan Herrera, Ceddanne Rafaela, and J.D. Martinez. The first-time selection arrived in the City of Brotherly Love four days after the White Sox reinstated him from a 35-game injured list stint.
Why it matters: Murakami outpaced Shohei Ohtani's debut home run rate in April, hitting nine home runs while putting together a four-game home run streak. His midseason selection alongside teammate Tristan Peters gives the White Sox two first-time All-Star additions entering the break.
What to watch: The 96th MLB All-Star Game broadcasts live tonight at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
