Impact Julien was thought to be a possible platoon partner at first base earlier in the winter, but the Minnesota's signing of Ty France likely limits him to second base for any starting job. Julien's role is in flux as he could win the second base job, platoon at first base (or DH or 2B) or even begin the season in the minors. Julien displayed a mix of exceptional plate discipline and power in 2023 with a .381 OBP and .195 ISO, but struggled with a .615 OPS last season and spent much of the year in the minors.

Sitting versus lefty Julien is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

Impact It's lefty Cade Povich on the mound for the Orioles, but Julien hardly played lately regardless of the handedness of the opposing pitcher, starting just one of the last nine contests. Ryan Jeffers will be the Twins' designated hitter and will bat seventh.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Losing work vs. righties Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Julien looks like he could be moving out of the strong-side platoon role at second base that he's held since receiving a call-up from Triple-A St. Paul in mid-August. He'll hit the bench for the third time in four games Wednesday, with two of those absences coming against right-handed pitchers.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Monday vs. lefty Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Impact The lefty-hitting Julien will remain on the bench for a second straight game, this time against a lefty (Matthew Boyd) after he was out of the lineup against Reds righty Rhett Lowder on Sunday. Julien should still see the bulk of the starts at second base until Max Kepler (knee) returns from the injured list, at which point super-utility man Willi Castro may see fewer opportunities in the outfield and instead find a home at the keystone.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from lineup Julien is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Julien has gone 0-for-7 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series, and he'll begin Sunday's contest in the dugout. Kyle Farmer will start at second base and bat eighth against Cincinnati right-hander Rhett Lowder.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Avoiding southpaw matchup Julien is absent from Monday's lineup against the Angels.

Impact With the Halos sending southpaw Reid Detmers to the mound Monday, the lefty-hitting Julien will retreat to the dugout. Kyle Farmer will start at second base and bat sixth.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits first home run since April Julien went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

Impact Julien took Taj Bradley deep in the second inning for his eighth home run of the season and his first since April 25. Julien's blast snapped a 54-game homerless streak, which was the longest of his career entering today. Since his most recent call-up in the middle of August, the 25-year-old is hitting .282 over 19 games, but his playing time is too inconsistent to trust in fantasy lineups.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact The lefty-hitting Julien will bow out of the starting nine while Atlanta sends a tough southpaw (Chris Sale) to the hill. Platoon mate Kyle Farmer will fill in for Julien at the keystone.

AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against southpaw Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Impact The lefty-hitting Julien had started in each of the last four games at second base, but he'll head to the bench Monday while Atlanta sends southpaw Max Fried to the hill. Julien could be at risk of losing out on his large-side platoon role and may even be demoted to Triple-A St. Paul at some point during the upcoming week, as fellow infielder Brooks Lee (bicep/shoulder) looks to be nearing a return from the 10-day injured list.

AUGUST 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Racks up four hits in rout Julien went 4-for-5 with a double and three runs in Wednesday's 11-4 victory against the Padres.

Impact Julien entered Wednesday having collected just two hits over 10 at-bats since returning from the minors Aug. 15. He doubled that hit total in the rout over the Padres, notching his first four-hit game since August of last year. He's gaining some traction in the Twins' lineup, starting four of the team's past six games with Brooks Lee on the injured list due to a shoulder injury.

AUGUST 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back with big club The Twins recalled Julien from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Julien's presence as a second base option could allow Willi Castro to play some in center field while Byron Buxton (hip) is out if the Twins want to go that route. The 25-year-old has slashed .204/.311/.354 with seven home runs and six stolen bases over 63 contests at the major-league level this season.

AUGUST 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Twins optioned Julien to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

Impact Julien was brought up from Triple-A last Saturday in order to make up for the loss of Carlos Correa (heel), and he'll now return to the minors as Jose Miranda (back) returns from the injured list. During his latest stint with the Twins, Julien went 2-for-12 with eight strikeouts over five games. He's had better luck with St. Paul, posting a .780 OPS through 165 plate appearances on the year, though he still has yet to find the same amount of success at the plate he did in 2023.

JULY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Retreats to bench Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Following his promotion from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Julien started at second base for both games of the Twins' series with the Brewers, going 1-for-4 with a pair of walks. Though he should have a regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching while the Twins are without Royce Lewis (groin) and Carlos Correa (heel), the lefty-hitting Julien will likely sit frequently against left-handers. Julien will cede the keystone to Brooks Lee on Monday while the Twins take on southpaw Ranger Suarez.

JULY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Twins, starting Saturday Julien was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He'll bat ninth and play second base against the Brewers.

Impact With Carlos Correa (foot) placed on the injured list, the Twins had a significant need for middle infield depth, and opted to bring Julien up to the big-league roster. The 25-year-old has 194 plate appearances with Minnesota this season, slashing .207/.309/.367 with seven home runs and six stolen bases.

JULY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Resting in series finale Julien is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

Impact With Thursday's contest being a day game after a night game, manager Rocco Baldelli will give rest to several key regulars. Along with Julien, Alex Kirilloff, Max Kepler and Trevor Larnach will rest as the Twins open up room in the lineup for reserves Kyle Farmer, Carlos Santana, Manuel Margot and Christian Vazquez.

MAY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On base three times in loss Julien went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact The 25-year-old Canadian put together a solid performance in Toronto as the Twins' leadoff hitter. The multi-hit performance was Julien's first since April 27, snapping a slump that had seen him hit just .097 (3-for-31) over the prior 12 games, while the steal was his fourth of the season, establishing a new career high after he swiped three in 109 games last year as a rookie.

On bench versus lefty Julien is not in the Twins' lineup for Thursday's opener in Kansas City.

Impact The Royals are throwing left-hander Cole Ragans, so Juilen will yield to the right-handed hitting Kyle Farmer at second base. While it might be be a strict platoon at the keystone, Julien seems likely to be on the bench at least against tougher southpaws like Ragans.
