Munetaka Murakami launched his first major league home run in the ninth inning of the Chicago White Sox's Opening Day game, securing a hit and dodging a promised haircut from teammate Shohei Ohtani.

The Milwaukee Brewers placed outfielder Jackson Chourio on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left hand hours before their season opener on Thursday.
