Edouard Julien is not in the starting lineup for the Twins Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Julien will take a seat on the bench against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. Kyle Farmer will draw the start at second at hit seventh.
Edouard Julien went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a stolen base in the Twins' win over the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
His performance was bolstered by drawing two walks, contributing significantly to the team's offensive efforts without adding to his strikeout total. Julien's season has been a mixed bag, marked by a modest .222 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 0.316, but his ability to draw walks and occasional power (seven homers) keeps him relevant in deeper fantasy leagues. His stolen base in this game, though only his second of the season, hints at potential underutilized speed. Moving forward, Julien's value will hinge on his ability to balance power with on-base capabilities, making him a speculative play in most fantasy formats.
Edouard Julien is out of the lineup for the Minnesota Twins against the Los Angeles Angels Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Julien will sit out with a left-hander on the mound, with Kyle Farmer starting at second base and batting eighth against the Angels for manager Rocco Baldelli Sunday.
Edouard Julien went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in the Twins' 16-5 rout of the Angels.
Fantasy Impact
Julien's performance included driving in three runs and scoring twice, bolstering his season RBI count and runs scored. This game marks a positive uptick for Julien, who has been struggling with a modest .244 batting average over 26 games. His ability to contribute significantly in games like this highlights his potential value in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that reward extra-base hits and RBI. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious; despite the good game, his high strikeout rate (.303) and relatively low batting average could lead to inconsistency. Julien's performance in this game could be a sign of turning things around, but he'll need to continue this trend to become a reliable fantasy starter.
