DFA'd by Rockies Colorado designated Julien for assignment on Tuesday, per Kyle Newman of The Denver Post.

Impact With Julien slowly losing out on playing time, the Rockies decided to DFA the 27-year-old. The left-handed-hitting Julien batted just .208/.322/.292 with three home runs and 20 RBI in 276 plate appearances this season. The Rockies recalled Zac Veen to replace Julien on the active roster.

Losing out on playing time Julien will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Though he'll be included in the lineup against right-hander Seth Lugo, the left-handed-hitting Julien sat in each of the Rockies' previous three games, with his latter two absences coming against righties. He appears to have lost control of a strong-side platoon role, with Willi Castro and Tyler Freeman both having seen more opportunities at second base at Julien's expense of late.

AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE

On bench to open Wednesday's game Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Impact Julien was included in the lineup for the first two games of the series and went 1-for-6 with a double and a run scored, but he'll take a seat to begin Wednesday's contest while southpaw Kyle Hart opens the game for the Padres. The Rockies could summon the left-handed-hitting Julien from the bench at some point during the contest once Hart exits and right-hander Griffin Canning takes over in bulk relief.

JULY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Losing hold of platoon role Julien will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Julien will draw his first start of the series after sitting Monday and Tuesday while the Nationals sent lefty starters to the hill for both contests. Julien is batting just .148/.258/.296 thus far in July, and he no longer appears to have a firm grasp on a strong-side platoon role after the Rockies held him out of the lineup against right-handed starters in the final game before the All-Star break and in the first game of the second half.

Out of lineup against righty Julien is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Reds.

Impact After making five straight starts at second base against right-handed pitching, the lefty-swinging Julien has now sat out two straight versus righties. Willi Castro will man the keystone for the Rockies on Friday.

JULY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against righty Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact The Rockies have regularly shielded the left-handed-hitting Julien from southpaws this season, but he'll take a seat against a righty starter (Trevor McDonald) in the final game before the All-Star break. Tyler Freeman will get the nod at second base in place of Julien, who is slashing .228/.335/.321 (75 wRC+) over 224 plate appearances versus righties on the campaign.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Pops solo shot Julien went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Julien has gone just 3-for-14 over five games in July. The second baseman is handling a strong-side platoon role, though he often gets replaced if a left-handed reliever enters the game. Julien is batting .228 with a .656 OPS, three homers, 20 RBI, 33 runs scored and four stolen bases over 241 plate appearances this season.

JULY 7 • Associated Press

Heading to bench versus lefty Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Though he'll head to the bench for the second time in three games while the Rockies face off against another lefty starter (Eric Lauer), the left-handed-hitting Julien appears to have earned himself a regular spot in the lineup versus righties. Over his last six games, Julien has reached base at a .481 clip while recording five hits, eight walks and nine runs and two RBI.

JULY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to bench Wednesday Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Julien has been a fixture in the lineup against right-handed pitching lately, but he'll cede second base to Willi Castro on Wednesday while Miami sends right-hander Max Meyer to the bump. Julien has generated a modest .646 OPS on the season, but he picked up his production in June, finishing the month with a .288./422/.365 slash line over 22 games.

JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Riding pine Saturday Julien isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Julien will grab a seat on the bench Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored during Friday's series opener. Tyler Freeman will shift to second base while Julien sits, opening up right field for Troy Johnston.

JUNE 27 • ROTOWIRE

Idle for series finale Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Julien will join fellow left-handed hitters Mickey Moniak, Troy Johnston and Brett Sullivan on the bench while the Red Sox send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the bump for the series finale. Though he had started in all but one of the Rockies' matchups with right-handed pitchers dating back to May 26, Julien's opportunities could be harder to come by now that Moniak is back in the fold following a month-long stint on the injured list.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against lefty Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Julien will retreat to the bench with southpaw Jeffrey Springs toeing the rubber for the Athletics. Julien has been included in the lineup for every matchup with a right-handed starter so far in June and is slashing .333/.419/.407 so far this month, but it's unclear if he'll be able to hold down a strong-side platoon role after Colorado reinstated Tyler Freeman (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Sunday.

JUNE 14 • ROTOWIRE

Knocks in three Julien went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Cubs.

Impact Julien has been in the lineup for most matchups against righties across the last two weeks and in nine of Colorado's last 11 games. He's gone 8-for-26 with five RBI and six runs scored in that span. In Tuesday's win, Julien delivered an RBI double in the second inning and knocked in two with a single one frame later.

JUNE 3 • Associated Press

Two straight starts Julien went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Friday against the Giants.

Impact Julien had slipped into a reserve role in the last week, but he started his second consecutive game Friday. He helped the Rockies take a 1-0 lead in the second inning, reaching base on a single, then executing a double steal with Ezequiel Tovar. Julien is hitting only .204 across 155 plate appearances, and his playing time will likely slip further once Mickey Moniak (ankle) is able to return.

Remaining on bench Julien isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

MAY 23 • ROTOWIRE
