Edouard Julien had three hits including a solo home run on Tuesday, but the Rockies dropped a 7-2 decision to the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Julien took Reds' starter Chase Burns deep in the third inning for his second home run of the season. He had Burns' number all evening as he also drew a walk to lead off the game then had an RBI single in the fifth. Julien added his third hit of the game with a single in the seventh off of Graham Ashcraft. Julien is on a seven-game hitting streak during which he is hitting .448 (13-for-29) with eight runs scored, one home run, and seven RBI. Overall, the second baseman is hitting .308 on the year with two home runs and 12 RBI while leading off for a much better Rockies' lineup. He's worth a speculative add, especially in deeper leagues, with the way he's swinging the bat.
Edouard Julien went 3-for-5 with a run scored and three runs batted in to help the Rockies to a 9-6 win over the Dodgers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Julien snapped an 0-for-17 slide over his prior six appearances before his three-hit performance on Sunday. It was his first three-hit game of the year and his fourth multi-hit game of the season. Julien is hitting .259 with a home run and eight RBI in his first season in Colorado. He showed flashes of his ability at times in Minnesota, hitting 16 home runs as a rookie in 2023, so he is a name to watch in fantasy as the season progresses.
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.
