The White Sox designated Julks for assignment Saturday. Julks' departure from the 40-man roster opens up a spot for Cam Booser, whom 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.

The White Sox optioned Julks to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday. He'll give up his spot on the 28-man active roster to third baseman Yoan Moncada (adductor), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Since being acquired from the Astros in mid-May and reporting to Chicago, Julks produced a .581 OPS with three home runs and five stolen bases over 189 plate appearances with the White Sox. He mostly served as a short-side platoon player in the White Sox outfield, but Julks should get the chance to play on an everyday basis at Charlotte.

Julks went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs. Julks remains in a reserve role, leading to little playing time. He's played in 16 games since the start of July, going 4-for-21 with two steals and one RBI in that span. The outfielder is slashing .231/.301/.364 with three home runs, five steals, eight RBI, 11 runs scored and seven doubles over 133 plate appearances. Julks is likely to see most of his playing time in right field versus left-handed pitchers, with Gavin Sheets or Dominic Fletcher handling the strong side of the platoon.

Julks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros. Julks is on the bench after he started in each of the White Sox's last three games, with the latter two coming against left-handed pitchers. Though he's served as a near-everyday player for much of his time with the White Sox since getting called up from Triple-A Charlotte on May 17, Julks appears set to lose out on regularly playing time moving forward following the recent returns of Andrew Benintendi and Tommy Pham from the injured list.

Julks isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Thursday's game against Seattle. Julks will take a seat Thursday after recording just one hit in 13 at-bats through the first three games of the series. His absence will allow Oscar Colas to start in right field and bat seventh.
