Julks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Julks started Houston's last eight games and will receive a day off after he went 11-for-27 with two doubles, three steals, two RBI and four runs during that stretch. Chas McCormick will shift to left field while Jake Meyers starts in center.

Julks went 3-for-3 with a double, one RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Julks went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base Monday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Julks is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Julks is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's bout against the Cardinals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Julks has picked up hits in six of his last seven games including a double against the Cardinals on Tuesday, but he'll get a day of rest Wednesday. Bligh Madris will hit seventh and line up in left field in Julks' absence.

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

EDGE Analysis

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. Julks has 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
