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

It wasn't Julien's performance that punched his ticket back to the minors, as he batted .286/.333/.500 with two home runs and four RBI in 36 plate appearances since being called up May 20. Rather, Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is back from the injured list, and the Twins felt Julien wasn't going to get enough playing time to warrant being carried on the roster. He'll receive everyday at-bats with St. Paul as he awaits another chance with the parent club.
