Edouard Julien - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

On bench Tuesday Julien is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact The rookie infielder often finds himself on the bench against left-handed pitchers, but he'll sit Tuesday despite the fact righty Alex Faedo is taking the mound for Detroit. Julien is mired in a 1-for-16 slump, so manager Rocco Baldelli may just be looking to provide an extra day of rest. Jorge Polanco will shift to the keystone while Royce Lewis starts at third base.

Draws three walks Julien went 1-for-1 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Julien batted out of the leadoff spot for a second straight game and looked very comfortable. In those two games, he went 4-for-6 with three walks and just one strikeout. Julien has been a welcomed addition to the Twins' lineup after he was up and down with the big club earlier in the season. Since being called back up June 10, the 24-year-old is slashing .330/.433/.540 with six homers, 10 RBI, 26 runs and a 22:46 BB:K over 161 plate appearances.

Impact The rookie will join fellow left-handed hitters Joey Gallo and Max Kepler on the bench for the series finale while the Royals bring southpaw Ryan Yarbrough to the hill.

Could stick at keystone Julien, who is starting at second base and hitting second Friday against the White Sox, got a vote of confidence with the news that Jorge Polanco (hamstring) will get reps at third...

Impact Given that Julien is arguably the game's hottest hitter, with a .593 average and three home runs in his last eight games, the Twins probably would have found a spot for him even if Jorge Polanco didn't add third base to his repertoire, but this news is a nice sign that the Twins may have found their second baseman of the present and future in Julien. While he generally hits second against righties, Julien hasn't started against a lefty since June 19.

Reaches base four times again Julien went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact Julien has gotten on base 10 times in his last 14 plate appearances, going 8-for-11 with two homers and three walks in that span as he continues to torment Seattle's pitching. The second baseman's blast was his ninth homer in 48 contests this season and his fifth long ball in July. With six multi-hit efforts in his last seven games, Julien is up to a .318/.394/.574 slash line overall.

JULY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stays red-hot Tuesday Julien went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact Julien has multiple hits in five of his last six games, including back-to-back three-hit efforts. He's homered four times in July, accounting for half of his long balls this season. The second baseman is staking a strong claim to his spot in the lineup with a .308/.380/.548 slash line, 15 RBI, 24 runs scored and two stolen bases over 47 contests. Jorge Polanco (hamstring) could be back by the end of the week, but it figures manager Rocco Baldelli will find a spot for Julien as long as his bat is hot.

Twins' Edouard Julien smashes a solo shot to extend their lead over the Mariners

JULY 19, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Gets aboard four times Julien went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Julien has hit safely in seven of his last eight games, going 12-for-21 (.571) with six extra-base hits in that span. His steal Monday was his second of the campaign. The second baseman is more than holding his own against major-league pitching with a .298/.373/.525 slash line, seven home runs, 14 RBI, 21 runs scored and 11 doubles through 162 plate appearances, though his 32.1 percent strikeout rate is a bit lofty.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Smacks homer in loss Julien went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Sunday's 15-2 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Julien accounted for half of the Twins' hits and all of their run production. The second baseman has three homers and two doubles over his last five games. He's at a respectable .271/.349/.504 slash line with seven homers, 13 RBI, 19 runs scored, 10 doubles and a stolen base through 153 plate appearances. Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is likely out another week, so Julien should maintain a strong-side platoon role at second base early in the second half.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Socks sixth homer Julien went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Royals.

Impact Getting the start at second base and batting second, the 24-year-old rookie took Alec Marsh deep in the first inning to give Pablo Lopez all the run support he would need. Julien has gone yard in consecutive games to give him six homers on the season, and since rejoining the big-league lineup June 10 he's slashing .290/.375/.484, albeit with a less impressive three RBI and nine runs in 21 contests.

JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting versus righty Julien is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Royals.

Impact It marks the third game in a row that Julien begins on the bench, but unlike the first two contests this comes against a right-hander. This comes after Julien homered off the bench during Monday's win over Kansas City. Donovan Solano will cover second base Tuesday.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers off bench Julien went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-4 victory versus Kansas City.

Impact Julien began the game on the bench with lefty Austin Cox starting for the Royals, but the rookie second baseman seized the opportunity when called upon to pinch hit in the eighth, launching a 413-foot solo homer to break a 3-3 tie. The long ball was his first since May 27, a span of 24 games, and it also resulted in just his second RBI over that span. Julien has had his ups-and-downs in his first big-league season, slashing .254/.336/.443 with five homers, 10 RBI, 16 runs and one steal over 141 plate appearances. He's posted a solid 10.6 percent walk rate but has also struck out in 34.0 percent of his trips to the plate.

Edouard Julien CRUSHES a solo homer late in the game to give the Twins the lead over the Royals

JULY 4, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Idle versus lefty again Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Impact Julien will sit for the second straight day and for the third time in five games while the Twins face off against left-hander Austin Cox in the series opener with the Royals. Manager Rocco Baldelli seems to view Julien as a strict platoon player at the moment, but Julien should still occupy a prominent spot in the batting order when the Twins oppose right-handed pitchers.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out against lefty Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Along with Joey Gallo and Max Kepler, Julien is one of three Twins left-handed-hitting regulars who will head to the bench while the Orioles bring a southpaw (Cole Irvin) to the bump for the series finale. Kyle Farmer will check in at the keystone in place of Julien, who is slashing .281/.364/.386 in 18 games since returning to the big leagues June 10.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Julien is not in Wednesday's lineup against Atlanta.

Impact Julien is the Twins' leadoff hitter against righties, but he has only started against one lefty this month. Donovan Solano is starting at the keystone and leading off with southpaw Kolby Allard on the hill for Atlanta.
