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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

The White Sox designated Julks for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Julks is batting seventh and starting in left field against the Angels on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The White Sox reassigned Julks to minor-league camp Monday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The White Sox designated Julks for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

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.
