Corey Julks Starting Monday Versus Blue Jays
2 years agoHouston Astros outfielder Corey Julks is in Monday's starting lineup against the Blue Jays and right-hander Kevin Gausman. Houston's outfield is a little banged up with Michael Brantley on the injured list and Chas McCormick sidelined after being pulled from Friday's game with vision issues, so Julks gets an opportunity on Monday. It's the 11th appearance of the season for the 27-year-old who is hitting .289 with one home run across 39 trips to the plate but he's yet to draw a walk in that time. Julks offered a serious combination of power and speed at the Triple-A level last season as he hit 31 home runs along with 22 stolen bases across 130 games. He should continue to see solid playing time as long as McCormick is sidelined.
