Julien will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Royals.
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.
