Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Incredible Julks started hot with Houston with 11 runs, 8 RBIs, and a .297 average the first month of the season and again with a solid June, but struggled overall and was a non-factor after the break. His fantasy value was mostly limited to his 15 stolen bases as the rest of his production was below average and barely rosterable in AL-Only formats. Julks, even at age 28, still has minor league options and is very likely to end up back in Triple-A since Kyle Tucker, Chas McCormick, and Jake Meyers/Mauricio Dubon are clogging up the first four spots in the outfield depth chart. Julks's speed is a tool, but he has limitations at the plate that are not likely to be given increased exposure on a team that is a strong favorite to once again play baseball in October.

ANALYSIS
Julks spent the bulk of the 2023 season in the majors but came up short for an Opening Day roster spot this year. The 28-year-old will play corner outfield with Sugar Land and hope to get another shot with the big club sooner rather than later.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Still in roster mix
Manager Dusty Baker admitted the fact Julks isn't on Houston's 40-man roster "hurts [his] chances] of making the Opening Day roster, but the skipper also said the outfielder could "bang his way" onto the team, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old has enjoyed a solid spring training with a .754 OPS in 16 games, but it remains to be seen if it's enough to open the season on the big-league roster. Julks posted a .268/.349/.499 slash line with 31 home runs and 22 stolen bases at Triple-A Sugar Land last season, and he's all but guaranteed to join the Astros at some point this year even if he opens in the minors.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Julks showed hints of a power breakout in half a season at Double-A in 2021 and then full-on broke out in 2022 at Triple-A Sugar Land, slugging 31 home runs and stealing 22 bases to go along with an .854 OPS. However, it wasn't enough to get him added to the 40-man roster over the offseason and Julks went unselected in the Rule 5 Draft. He's 27 and doesn't really have a defensive home, so you can understand why. Still, Julks has displayed a fantasy-friendly skill set in the minors, so he'd be worth keeping and eye on if the Astros give him a shot.
