The Tigers optioned Julks to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
Julks was on the big-league roster for nearly three weeks but received only seven plate appearances, going 2-for-7 with a double. His spot on the active roster is being taken by John Peck.

The Tigers selected Julks' contract from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
He's taking the roster spot vacated by the injured Riley Greene (hamstring) and will start in right field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians. Julks has slashed .273/.347/.453 with 15 home runs in 86 games this season with Toledo. The right-handed-hitting Julks could see regular reps against lefties as the Tigers navigate multiple injuries in their outfield.

The Tigers reassigned Julks to minor-league camp Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Julks saw 13 plate appearances over six games in the big leagues with the White Sox in 2025, but he was facing an uphill battle to securing a spot on a more talented Tigers roster heading into Opening Day. The 30-year-old outfielder acquitted himself well during the spring, posting a 1.165 OPS over 31 plate appearances. If he can continue mashing early on at Triple-A Toledo, Julks could merit more serious consideration for a return to the majors.

Across 10 Grapefruit League games, Julks has gone 7-for-16 with three walks, a double, a triple and three home runs.
Julks was a non-roster invitee to Detroit's camp, but he's making a decent case for himself so far. The veteran outfielder spent most of last season playing for Triple-A Charlotte in the White Sox organization, and he's just a career .234/.288/.337 hitter at the MLB level, so offensive regression could be coming soon. However, Julks will at the very least give the Tigers some organizational depth, and he could get a shot at the majors at some point down the road if a need arises.

The Tigers signed Julks to a minor-league contract Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
A career .234/.288/.337 hitter in parts of three big-league seasons, Julks spent most of 2025 at Triple-A Charlotte in the White Sox organization, where he slashed .300/.374/.477 with 15 homers and 18 steals. He will give the Tigers some experienced outfield depth at Triple-A Toledo.

Julks elected to become a free agent Wednesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Julks opted to decline an outright assignment by the White Sox, choosing to test out the free-agent market instead. The outfielder spent most of the 2025 season in the minors and has managed just a .234/.288/.337 batting line over 165 games covering parts of three major-league seasons.
