After being recently designated for assignment by the Houston Astros, outfielder Corey Julks has been traded to the Chicago White Sox for pitcher Luis Rodriguez.
White Sox announce four roster moves: Prior to today's game vs. Washington, the Chicago White Sox announced the following four roster moves:Given that the White Sox are 13-30 on the season, Julks figures to get an opportunity to continue his career and make an impact at the big league level sometime soon. The 28-year-old made his major league debut with the Astros in 2023, hitting .245 over 93 games.
The White Sox are currently utilizing Tommy Pham and Andrew Benintendi in the outfield, and will hopefully welcome back Luis Robert Jr. soon from injury, but perhaps Julks could see time at designated hitter or as a fourth outfield option for Pedro Grifol. As for Rodriguez, he is 2-2 lifetime at the minor league level with a 3.93 ERA. He was signed out of Venezuela and is currently 20 years old. He is listed now as being part of the Astros Florida Complex League team.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
