Corey Julks

28-Year-Old OutfielderOF
Chicago White Sox
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.

August 10, 2024
Julks went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
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.

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.
