COREY JULKS NEWS

Loses out on roster spot The White Sox reassigned Julks to minor-league camp Monday.

Impact Outrighted off Chicago's 40-man roster in January, Julks still received an invitation to big-league spring training but was unable to make much of a push for a bench role with the White Sox to open the season. After turning in a .581 OPS in 189 plate appearances with Chicago in 2024, Julks went 6-for-27 (.222 average) with 10 strikeouts over 13 Cactus League games. Julks is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Charlotte.

Outrighted to Triple-A The White Sox outrighted Julks to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Julks is no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as outfield depth. The 28-year-old has slashed .234/.289/.335 over parts of two big-league seasons.

DFA'd by ChiSox The White Sox designated Julks for assignment Saturday.

Impact Julks' departure from the 40-man roster opens up a spot for Cam Booser, who Chicago acquired via trade earlier Saturday. Julks appeared in 66 games for the White Sox in 2024, slashing .214/.275/.306 with three homers and five stolen bases.

Sent to minors The White Sox optioned Julks to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Impact He'll give up his spot on the 28-man active roster to third baseman Yoan Moncada (adductor), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Since being acquired from the Astros in mid-May and reporting to Chicago, Julks produced a .581 OPS with three home runs and five stolen bases over 189 plate appearances with the White Sox. He mostly served as a short-side platoon player in the White Sox outfield, but Julks should get the chance to play on an everyday basis at Charlotte.

Swipes bag in loss Julks went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Julks remains in a reserve role, leading to little playing time. He's played in 16 games since the start of July, going 4-for-21 with two steals and one RBI in that span. The outfielder is slashing .231/.301/.364 with three home runs, five steals, eight RBI, 11 runs scored and seven doubles over 133 plate appearances. Julks is likely to see most of his playing time in right field versus left-handed pitchers, with Gavin Sheets or Dominic Fletcher handling the strong side of the platoon.

Settling back into reserve role Julks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact Julks is on the bench after he started in each of the White Sox's last three games, with the latter two coming against left-handed pitchers. Though he's served as a near-everyday player for much of his time with the White Sox since getting called up from Triple-A Charlotte on May 17, Julks appears set to lose out on regularly playing time moving forward following the recent returns of Andrew Benintendi and Tommy Pham from the injured list.

JUNE 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Productive start to time with Sox Julks went 1-for-3 with two RBI, a walk and a stolen base Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Julks was dealt to the White Sox on May 15 after being designated for assignment by the Astros and was recalled to the big-league club two days later. He's made three starts in five games since and gone 4-for-11 with a run scored, three RBI and two stolen bases. Julks could see a more consistent role moving forward if Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is forced to miss time.

Sent back to Triple-A Houston optioned Julks to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

Impact This is the corresponding 26-man roster move for Michael Brantley (shoulder) as he returns from the 60-day injured list. Julks has batted just .245/.297/.352 through his first 323 major-league plate appearances here in 2023.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in big leagues Julks was called up by the Astros on Saturday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Julks will take the spot that had belonged to Grae Kessinger, who landed on the injured list due to health and safety protocols. Julks provided a bit of fantasy value as a 27-year-old rookie prior to his demotion in early August with his 15 steals, but his .245/.299/.353 slash line (81 wRC+) wasn't good enough to keep him in a regular role.

Impact Julks has made more starts in left field than any other Astro this season, but he had been hitless across his last 36 at-bats and hadn't homered since June 18, which has resulted in a trip back to the minors. Chas McCormick should see most of the action in left moving forward, with Jake Meyers handling center.

Sitting Saturday Julks isn't in the Astros' lineup Saturday versus Tampa Bay, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Julks has been in a major 0-for-27 slump at the plate over his last nine games, so he'll get a day off Saturday to regroup. Yordan Alvarez will fill in as Houston's left fielder, Chas McCormick will serve as the DH and Jake Meyers will start in center.

Hits bench Monday Julks is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Julks started each of Houston's last six games, going just 1-for-21 with three walks against five strikeouts during that stretch. Though he's been able to hold down a near-everyday role for a large chunk of the season, Julks could be in danger of seeing his playing time take a hit later this week, when Yordan Alvarez (oblique) is likely to return from the 10-day injured list.

JULY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Sunday Julks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bright spot in loss Julks went 3-for-3 with a double, one RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Julks was one of two Astros with multiple hits and the only one to drive in a run in the loss. He's on a tear with multiple hits in four straight contests, going 11-for-16 (.688) with three steals in that impressive span. Each good performance further solidifies his place in the lineup. The left fielder is slashing .289/.333/.418 with six home runs, 29 RBI, 34 runs scored, 15 stolen bases and 12 doubles through 67 contests this season.
