The Chicago White Sox acquired outfielder Corey Julks from the Houston Astros on Wednesday in a trade for minor league right-hander Luis Rodriguez then optioned Julks to Triple-A Charlotte.

The 28-year-old Julks appeared in 93 games with Houston last season and batted .245 with six homers and 33 RBIs. He had spent the entire 2024 season at Triple-A Sugar Land, batting .266 with five homers and 15 RBIs in 31 games, before being designated for assignment Friday.

White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said before Wednesday's series finale against the Washington Nationals that Julks might be recalled if the White Sox needed a right-handed hitter in the lineup.
