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.

Julks went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
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 could leave him prone to streakiness the rest of the year.

Julks went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Julks has remained steady of late, going 7-for-24 (.292) with three extra-base hits and five RBI over his last seven contests. The rookie outfielder is up to four homers through 41 games this season after his sixth-inning blast off Shohei Ohtani. Julks has added six stolen bases, 18 RBI, 20 runs scored and a .267/.285/.404 slash line over 151 plate appearances. He continues steady playing time between left field and designated hitter, though he occasionally steps out of the lineup when Yordan Alvarez, Chas McCormick or Mauricio Dubon take a turn in left.

Julks is not in the starting lineup versus the Twins on Wednesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Julks will take a seat on the bench for the second time in three games. Chas McCormick is starting in left field and hitting eighth against Louie Varland and the Twins on Wednesday. Julks has hit just one homer over 62 at-bats in the month of May, and it's possible he could continue to lose playing time to players like Mauricio Dubon, Jake Meyers and McCormick if the mixed results continue.

Julks went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
This was Julks' second three-RBI effort in his last three contests after he had knocked in just two runs over his first 11 games in May. The outfielder also has multiple hits in three of his last eight contests. Julks is slashing .270/.285/.389 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored and six steals in eight attempts over 35 contests. He remains in the mix for playing time in left field and at designated hitter.

Julks will sit Wednesday versus the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Julks will get a breather after he went 3-for-8 with a solo homer, a double and three RBI over the first two games of the series. Chas McCormick will slide over to left field while Jake Meyers enters the lineup in center and bats eighth in the finale with Milwaukee.
