Reaches free agency Julks elected to become a free agent Wednesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Julks opted to decline an outright assignment by the White Sox, choosing to test out the free-agent market instead. The outfielder spent most of the 2025 season in the minors and has managed just a .234/.288/.337 batting line over 165 games covering parts of three major-league seasons.

Outrighted to Triple-A The White Sox outrighted Julks to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Impact Having been outrighted previously, Julks has the ability to decline the assignment and become a free agent, but it's unclear what his intentions are. Julks is a career .234/.288/.337 hitter over parts of three big-league seasons.

Brought up from Triple-A The White Sox selected Julks' contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.

Impact Julks has appeared in just four games for the White Sox this season, slashing .375/.375/.625 with a pair of doubles, two runs scored and a 0:2 BB:K across eight trips to the plate. He takes the 26-man roster spot of Andrew Benintendi, who was placed on the 10-day IL with Achilles tendinitis.

Outrighted to Triple-A Julks cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Julks went 3-for-8 in a White Sox uniform before being DFA'd by the club Tuesday. After clearing waivers, he'll officially remain in the organization and head back to Charlotte, where he's slashed .295/.373/.470 with 46 RBI, 58 runs scored and 13 steals over 87 games. He could find himself back in Chicago soon if he continues to hit well in the minors.

White Sox reinstate infielder Miguel Vargas from the 10-day injured list

The Chicago White Sox have reinstated infielder Miguel Vargas from the 10-day injured list

AUGUST 12, 2025 • Associated Press

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

Impact Chicago selected Julks' contract from Triple-A Charlotte at the start of August, but he'll lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters after going 3-for-8 with two doubles and two runs in four games. If he clears waivers, the 29-year-old could end up back at Charlotte, where he has an .843 OPS with 10 homers and 13 steals in 87 games this year.

AUGUST 9, 2025 • Associated Press

Very late addition to lineup Julks is batting seventh and starting in left field against the Angels on Saturday.

Impact Julks wasn't originally slated to start, but he was added to the starting nine just before the beginning of the game while Miguel Vargas was scratched. Saturday will mark Julks' MLB season debut after he had his contract selected from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

AUGUST 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Selected from Charlotte The White Sox selected Julks' contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Impact Julks missed out on an MLB roster spot out of spring training, but he'll now earn one after slashing .295/.373/.470 with 10 homers, 46 RBI, 58 runs scored and 13 steals through 87 games in Triple-A. The 29-year-old will replace Will Robertson on the active roster and may form a platoon in right field with the lefty-hitting Mike Tauchman.

AUGUST 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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

AUGUST 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

AUGUST 7, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Demoted to minors amidst slump Julks was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

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.

AUGUST 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench again Friday Julks remains out of the lineup Friday versus the Yankees.

Impact Julks is still without a hit over his last 41 plate appearances and appears to have lost his hold on the Astros' left field job. Chas McCormick is playing there again Friday as Jake Meyers covers center.
