While the sample size was small, the Tigers see him as a potential right-handed bat who could compete for a bench role if he has a strong showing in Grapefruit League play.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>With Detroit looking to add power and flexibility off the bench, Julks could factor in as a reserve outfielder, particularly as a platoon option against left-handed pitching. A productive spring could put him in the mix for an Opening Day roster spot, but he will first need to earn it in a crowded outfield competition.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/detroit-tigers-corey-julks-spring-training-invite\/jeff\/detroit-tigers\/01\/22\/2026\/482873\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Detroit Tigers Sign OF Corey Julks;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Detroit Tigers Sign OF Corey Julks<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Detroit Sports Nation;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Detroit Sports Nation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Detroit Tigers have added outfield depth, signing Corey Julks to a minor league contract that includes an&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":533120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2386],"tags":[5,49,18251,147,53,2583,1600,4,594],"class_list":["post-533119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-detroit-tigers","tag-baseball","tag-chicago-white-sox","tag-corey-julks","tag-detroit","tag-detroit-tigers","tag-detroittigers","tag-major-league","tag-mlb","tag-tigers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115940462185191542","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=533119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/533120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=533119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=533119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=533119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
