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 is absent from the starting lineup versus the Angels on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Julks gets Sunday off after going 2-for-12 in the first three games of the series against Los Angeles. Chas McCormick will get the start in left field, while Jake Meyers will handle center field against Griffin Canning and the Angels.

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 is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Twins, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Julks had started each of the last three games -- two in left field and one at designated hitter -- but will begin this one on the bench. Mauricio Dubon is in left field.

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.

Julks went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two additional RBI in Monday's 12-2 rout of Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Julks belted the first of four Astros solo homers off Corbin Burnes, going deep to left-center field in the second inning. He added a two-run double in the eighth to put the finishing touches on a Houston rout. The long ball was the first for Julks since April 17, a span of 22 games. It was also his first multi-RBI performance since that date.

Julks is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Julks will get a breather after he went 1-for-7 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Chas McCormick will shift over to left field while Jake Meyers enters the lineup in center field and bats seventh as the Astros go for the sweep Sunday.

Julks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Julks is on the bench for the third time in four games and looks to be losing some traction as a mainstay in the Houston lineup following Chas McCormick's recent return from the injured list. McCormick will stick in the starting nine for the fourth game in a row and appears to be a more stable part of the lineup than Julks and Jake Meyers while the three players vie for two spots in Houston's regular outfield. Mauricio Dubon could factor into the mix in the outfield once second baseman Jose Altuve (thumb) likely returns from the injured list over the weekend, potentially leaving both Julks and Meyers on the outside looking in for playing time.
