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.

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.

Showing ability to get on base Julks went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base Monday against the Rangers.

Impact Julks has gotten on base multiple times in six of his last 11 starts, maintaining an impressive .413 on-base percentage. He's shown improved patience, as he's drawn six free passes in that span after working only nine walks across his first 53 games of the campaign. Julks is still getting on base at a .308 clip across 237 plate appearances, though he has chipped in 13 stolen bases and six home runs.

Impact Julks will head to the bench after he went 4-for-9 with an RBI and a run scored while starting two games during the team's series with St. Louis. Chas McCormick will slide over to left field while Jake Meyers enters the lineup in center field and bats eighth in the series opener versus Texas.

Gets aboard four times in blowout Julks went 3-for-5 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 14-0 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Julks has hit safely in seven of his last eight games, racking up three multi-hit efforts and five RBI in that span. The outfielder appears to be separating himself in the battle for playing time in left field, leaving Chas McCormick to contend with Jake Meyers for time in center. For the season, Julks is slashing .265/.307/.398 with six home runs, 27 RBI, 30 runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 225 plate appearances.

Astros' Corey Julks robs Mookie Betts of leadoff homer with a PHENOMENAL catch at the fence

JUNE 24, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Sticking in lineup Julks went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Mets.

Impact Julks started in left field for the fourth time in the last five games, while Jake Meyers and Chas McCormick continue to split time between center and left field. He's taken advantage of that opportunity by tallying four hits across 12 at-bats to go along with a homer, three RBI and six runs scored. Even with Yordan Alvarez (oblique) sidelined, the Astros have a crunch for playing time in the outfield so Julks will need to continue to perform well to keep consistent at-bats.

JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swats sixth homer Julks went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run Sunday against the Reds.

Impact Julks has maintained a somewhat regular role in left field, and he's also benefitted with some extra plate appearances at designated hitter in the absence of Yordan Alvarez (oblique). His home run Sunday was his sixth of the season and third in June, though he's hitting only .191 across 47 at-bats for the month.

Swipes two bags in win Julks went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run and two stolen bases in a 6-4 victory versus the Guardians on Saturday.

Impact Julks made the most of his two times reaching base, swiping second base in each instance. He's up to 10 thefts on the season, making him one of 31 major-leaguers to reach that mark thus far. The stolen base total gives Julks some fantasy appeal, and he's added some modest production in other areas with a .262/.286/.399 slash line, five homers, 23 RBI and 22 runs over 48 games.

JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Thursday Julks is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Chas McCormick, Jake Meyers and Kyle Tucker will start across the outfield for the Astros. Julks has had a couple of strong games in June but carries an overall .681 OPS through his first 166 major-league plate appearances.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes two bags Tuesday Julks went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact The rookie outfielder did his best to generate some offense and get into scoring position after each of his singles, but unfortunately for Houston, Mauricio Dubon was the only other Astro to manage any hits off Kevin Gausman. After slumping in early May, Julks has bounced back by slashing .273/.286/.509 over his last 15 games with three of his five homers and three of his eight steals on the season. He also sports a 1:14 BB:K over that stretch, however, and the 27-year-old's shaky plate discipline will leave him prone to streakiness the rest of the year.
