Griffin replaced Milwaukee pitcher Braxton Ashcraft, who threw 98 pitches Saturday against Pittsburgh.on the All-Star roster.

Murakami, a rookie slugger from Japan, was added Friday just hours before he returned to action against the Athletics after missing six weeks with a right hamstring strain.

Still a rookie at 26, the speedy, slick-fielding Peters is batting .303 with six homers and 35 RBIs is his first full major league season.He has 20 doubles and three triples; the most recent came in the seventh inning of Chicago's rout of the Athletics on Friday that made Peters the first White Sox player to hit for the cycle since Jose Abreu in September 2017."The White Sox gave me this opportunity and I went into it just trying to make the most out of it and just be who I am as a player, too," Peters said.

"I know there was a lot of bunting in the beginning and just trying to figure out who I am at the big league level and you know they give space for that, too.

Just an incredibly supportive group and that's helped me thrive." A native of Winkler, Manitoba, Peters became the second Canadian to record a cycle.
