• Rockies' Edouard Julien: Not in Tuesday's lineup

  Rotowire Mar 31, 2026

  Julien is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays. Julien has gone 1-for-7 with a double and four strikeouts while starting three of Colorado's first four games of the season, and he'll hit the bench for Tuesday's contest. T.J. Rumfield will shift to designated hitter and Willi Castro to first base, opening up the keystone for Ryan Ritter.

• Rockies' Edouard Julien: Exiting lineup Sunday

  Rotowire Mar 29, 2026

  Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins. Julien served as the Rockies' designated hitter in the first two games of the season, going 1-for-5 with a double. Though he should have a fairly clear path to at-bats while Mickey Moniak (finger) is on the shelf, Julien will be the odd man out of the lineup Sunday. Hunter Goodman will get a day off from catching but stick in the starting nine at DH.

• Rockies' Edouard Julien: Starting at DH in opener

  Rotowire Mar 27, 2026

  Julien will start at designated hitter and bat eighth in Friday's opener in Miami. The placement of Mickey Moniak (finger) on the 10-day injured list will free up some at-bats at DH and in the outfield for the Rockies. Julien will get the first crack at DH, though the spot is likely to be a revolving door. The 26-year-old was acquired from the Twins over the offseason.

• Rockies' Edouard Julien: Secures Opening Day roster spot

  Rotowire Mar 22, 2026

  Manager Warren Schaeffer said Sunday that Julien will be included on the Rockies' Opening Day roster, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Julien has no minor-league options remaining, so he always seemed to be in good position to make the Opening Day roster even after producing a middling .693 OPS during Cactus League play. The 26-year-old's role remains unclear, however, and he could find playing time tough to come by if he's unable to secure a strong-side platoon job at first base, second base or designated hitter. Julien offers limited defensive utility and owns a lowly .209/.278/.313 slash line (66 wRC+) over 126 career plate appearances versus left-handed pitchers.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: On bench for third straight

  Rotowire Aug 31, 2025

  Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres. The Twins have now left Julien out of the lineup for three consecutive contests, which follows a stretch of four straight starts in which he went 2-for-13 with a double and three walks. Julien has produced a poor .545 OPS since getting called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Aug. 1 and may play second fiddle to Kody Clemens at first base in September.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Goes deep Thursday

  Rotowire Aug 14, 2025

  Julien went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Tigers. Julien has gone just 5-for-25 (.200) with a 2:8 BB:K over 10 games since rejoining the big-league roster following the trade deadline. This was his first multi-hit effort in that span, which has seen him fill a part-time role. He's seeing most of his time at first base but is sharing the position with Kody Clemens and Mickey Gasper. Julien will need to show more consistency to claim a larger share of playing time. On the year, he has a poor .198/.282/.328 slash line with three homers, nine RBI, nine runs scored and no stolen bases over 131 plate appearances.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Late addition to lineup

  Rotowire Aug 6, 2025

  Julien will start at first base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers. The left-handed-hitting Julien had been slated to sit for the second day in a row against a right-handed starter (Jack Flaherty), but Julien will end up moving back into the starting nine after Trevor Larnach (shoulder) was scratched. Kody Clemens will head to the outfield to fill in for Larnach while Julien covers Clemens' usual post at first base.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Drawing fourth consecutive start

  Rotowire Aug 4, 2025

  Julien will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Tigers. Julien has started at the keystone in all four games for the Twins since he was called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday in the aftermath of the trade deadline. Though Julien should have a pathway to an everyday lineup spot the rest of the season if he can produce at the plate, he's mustered just one hit and one walk while striking out five times in nine at-bats through his first three contests following his promotion. Luke Keaschall (forearm) could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list by the end of the week and may push Julien for playing time at the keystone if the latter player isn't able to get going at the dish.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Summoned from Triple-A

  Rotowire Aug 1, 2025

  The Twins recalled Julien from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, LaVelle E. Neal III of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. With Luke Keaschall (forearm) staying in Triple-A for a longer rehab assignment, Julien may get steady time at second base and first base in the near term after the Twins shipped out nine players at the trade deadline. Julien had heated up at Triple-A after struggling in the majors this spring, as he was hitting .276/.415/.464 with 11 home runs in 70 games at St. Paul.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Pops leadoff homer

  Rotowire Apr 28, 2025

  Julien went 1-for-5 with a solo homer and a walk in Monday's 11-1 victory over the Guardians. The Minnesota second baseman hit the game's first pitch out of the park, launching it 403 feet to center off starter Gavin Williams. Julien has been hitting leadoff in a strong-side platoon lately and should get plenty of run while Luke Keaschall (forearm) is on the injured list. Across 92 plate appearances, Julien is slashing .213/.304/.350 with two homers, eight runs scored and eight RBI.

  Rotowire Apr 15, 2025

  Julien will start at second base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's contest against the Mets. It marks the third straight game that Julien has batted leadoff and the eighth game in a row that he's been in the lineup. Previous leadoff man Matt Wallner is hitting third for the Twins on Tuesday.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Goes to bench Monday

  Rotowire Apr 7, 2025

  Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals. The left-handed-hitting Julien had started in each of the Twins' last five games -- all against right-handed pitchers -- but he went just 3-for-14 with one walk against four strikeouts during that span. Julien will head to the bench Monday even as the Royals send a right-hander (Michael Lorenzen) to the mound, opening up a starting spot in the infield for Jose Miranda.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Making first start of season

  Rotowire Apr 1, 2025

  Julien will start at designated hitter and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the White Sox. It's the first start of the season for Julien, who has been limited in the early going due to an illness. He did receive three plate appearances off the bench in Monday's loss to the White Sox, going hitless.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Hitless in season debut at plate

  Rotowire Mar 31, 2025

  Julien (illness) went 0-for-3 in Monday's loss to the White Sox. He entered as a pitch hitter and defensive replacement in the fourth inning. Julien had appeared in only one game as a defensive replacement before Monday due to an illness. He played second base and then later moved to shortstop in a blowout loss -- the first time he's appeared at shortstop in his career. Julien looked set to get playing time against right-handed pitching, but hasn't had a start this season although the illness may have been a factor.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Has been battling illness

  Rotowire Mar 31, 2025

  Julien didn't make a start during the weekend series in St. Louis in part due to illness, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. The Twins faced all right-handers in the series, but the left-handed hitting Julien's only action came in the late innings of Sunday's game when he played a couple innings on defense. It's not clear how many starts he would have made had he been 100 percent, but the illness did play a part in his absence. Julien is out of the lineup again Monday against White Sox left-hander Martin Perez. It's possible he'll start Tuesday, when the Twins are scheduled to face righty Shane Smith.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Not in lineup versus righty

  Rotowire Mar 27, 2025

  Julien is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in St. Louis, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. The Cardinals are starting a righty in Sonny Gray, but the left-handed hitting Julien finds himself on the bench for the opener. The Twins are going with Willi Castro at second base, Trevor Larnach in the designated-hitter spot and Harrison Bader in left field.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Set to make final roster

  Rotowire Mar 24, 2025

  Julien has unofficially won a spot on Minnesota's 26-man roster to begin the season with Austin Martin optioned to Triple-A, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. Julien was on the roster bubble, but will make the team with both Royce Lewis and Brooks Lee set to begin the season on the injured list. Julien could get playing time at second base and DH early in the season against right-handed pitching.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Competing for 2B job

  Rotowire Feb 23, 2025

  Julien is battling Brooks Lee for the starting second base job this spring with Willi Castro also likely to get time at the position, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. He started at second base in his spring debut Sunday and went 1-for-3. Julien was thought to be a possible platoon partner at first base earlier in the winter, but 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 he struggled with a .615 OPS last season and spent much of the year in the minors.

• Twins' Edouard Julien: Sitting versus lefty

  Rotowire Sep 27, 2024

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