Edouard Julien News
Minnesota Twins infielder Edouard Julien is off to a shaky start at the plate, but he has turned it around recently. On Thursday, Julien went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the win over the Chicago White Sox. His slash line is at an ugly .213/.308/.513, but Julien does have seven home runs and nine RBI this season. The Twins are banged up right now, so expect Julien to continue playing everyday. His pop alone makes him worth snagging off the waiver wire.
Minnesota Twins second baseman Edouardo Julien is staying at second base and batting ninth on Monday against left-hander Cole Irvin and the Baltimore Orioles. This will be the second straight time that Julien has stayed in Minnesota's starting lineup with the team facing a southpaw. It will be a boost for Julien's fantasy stock if he continues to play every day, although his move from the leadoff spot to the nine-hole will make him a bat to fade in DFS lineups. The Canadian infielder does have four home runs in his first 14 games of 2024, but he's also gone just 9-for-46 (.196) with five RBI, a stolen base and seven runs scored in 52 trips to the plate. Julien has never faced Irvin in his career.
Minnesota Twins second baseman Edouard Julien put together a strong performance versus the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Julien blasted a leadoff home run to kick off the bottom of the first inning. He later homered again in the fifth inning to give the Twins a 3-2 lead. The score would hold as Julien provided most of the offense in this victory. Outside of this performance Julian has struggled this season, so hopefully this game will help him get back on track.

Edouard Julien succeeded in his MLB debut, hitting .263/.381/.459 with 16 HR in 408 PAs. The now 25-year-old appears primed for a successful follow-up, though the shape of his production will probably look different. Power was a big part of his game in 2023, but his 23.9 FB% was very low while his 94.3 mph average airborne exit velocity and 108.9 mph max exit velocity were around average. His 31.4% HR/FB is due for regression, taking most of Julien's power with it. Julien should be able to make up for it with an improved batting average though. His 31.4 K% a season ago seems alarming, but his underlying 17.2% chase rate and 10 SwStr% suggest a much lower rate moving forward. Julien's low 37.6 overall Swing% may lead to more strikeouts than expected, but he should still have no problem getting his K% to 25% or less. Julien seldom pops out (2 IFFB% last season) and hits few flies, so his BABIP should remain robust even if he cannot repeat last season's .371 mark. Projected as Minnesota's leadoff hitter, Julien offers average and runs upside with a little pop at his current ADP of 210.10. He's an even better selection in OBP leagues where his 15.7 BB% matters.
