Availability
Julien (back) is competing for playing time against right-handed pitchers and is positioned among the top candidates for starts at first base. He last appeared in a game on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Lower-back tightness has kept Julien out since then. The timing of the injury remains unclear.
The Twins traded IF Edouard Julien and RHP Pierson Ohl to the Rockies for RHP Jace Kaminska and cash.
Fantasy Impact
Julien had been out of options with Minnesota. He lands a fresh start in Colorado where he'll compete for a depth role in the infield.
Edouard Julien went 2-for-3 in the loss against the Tigers with a home run, one run scored, and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact
Julien has seen regular playing time with the Twins in August, going 5-for-25 with a home run and eight strikeouts. Despite the consistent playing time, he's someone to leave on the waiver wire until his bat catches fire. After yesterday's game, Julien has a .198 batting average with three home runs and nine RBI across 39 games this season.
Edouard Julien has been optioned to Triple-A St. Paul.
Fantasy Impact
The move comes on the heels of Royce Lewis and Willi Castro's activations from the IL. He'll look to get back on track in the minors and should get another opportunity in the big leagues this season.
Edouard Julien is back in the Twins’ starting lineup against the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
