Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Incredible Julks started hot with Houston with 11 runs, 8 RBIs, and a .297 average the first month of the season and again with a solid June, but struggled overall and was a non-factor after the break. His fantasy value was mostly limited to his 15 stolen bases as the rest of his production was below average and barely rosterable in AL-Only formats. Julks, even at age 28, still has minor league options and is very likely to end up back in Triple-A since Kyle Tucker, Chas McCormick, and Jake Meyers/Mauricio Dubon are clogging up the first four spots in the outfield depth chart. Julks's speed is a tool, but he has limitations at the plate that are not likely to be given increased exposure on a team that is a strong favorite to once again play baseball in October.

Homers in second game with new club
Julks went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Making his second start since being acquired from the Astros on May 15, Julks' solo homer in the second put the White Sox on the board and provided what turned out to be a short-lived lead for the Pale Hose. Julks later added a single, giving him three hits through two games in Chicago. Julks batted .245 with six homers and 15 steals over 323 plate appearances last season with the Astros and figures to see some action against lefties on the short side of a platoon, at least until Luis Robert (hip) returns to the lineup.

Stat Review
How does Corey Julks compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could join big club soon
White Sox manager Pedro Grifol indicated Wednesday that Julks could be called up in the near future, per Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old was acquired from Houston on Wednesday and was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte, but he could join the MLB club soon. Julks would likely see most of his playing time against left-handed pitching early on.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Julks showed hints of a power breakout in half a season at Double-A in 2021 and then full-on broke out in 2022 at Triple-A Sugar Land, slugging 31 home runs and stealing 22 bases to go along with an .854 OPS. However, it wasn't enough to get him added to the 40-man roster over the offseason and Julks went unselected in the Rule 5 Draft. He's 27 and doesn't really have a defensive home, so you can understand why. Still, Julks has displayed a fantasy-friendly skill set in the minors, so he'd be worth keeping and eye on if the Astros give him a shot.
