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, but played this season with Triple-A Sugarland where he hit .266 with five homers. White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said before Wednesday's series finale against Washington that Julks might be recalled if the White Sox needed a right-handed hitter in the lineup.
