Showing progress at plate Julien started at DH and went 1-for-3 with a double and walk in Thursday's 3-2 loss against Kansas City.
Impact Julien is starting to show some life at the plate as he's 3-for-10 with a walk in his last three games. He's hitting just .214 with a .576 OPS in 11 games. He has a chance to win regular playing time at DH and 2B with the rest of the lineup struggling, but his window of opportunity may be small with Brooks Lee likely return from the injured list soon.

Goes to bench Monday Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
Impact 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.

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

Hitless in season debut at plate 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.
Impact 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.

Has been battling illness Julien didn't make a start during the weekend series in St. Louis in part due to illness, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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.

Impact Julien is competing with Lee for the starting second base job with Willi Castro also likely to get time at the position. Julien could also get time at first base as well. Julien has struggled in the field this spring (2 errors at 2B, 1 at 1B), however. At this point it's still not clear what the Twins plan to do at second base, but Julien remains in the mix to win a roster spot and could still find playing time against right-handed pitching.

Impact Julien was thought to be a possible platoon partner at first base earlier in the winter, but the 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 struggled with a .615 OPS last season and spent much of the year in the minors.

Losing work vs. righties Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Julien looks like he could be moving out of the strong-side platoon role at second base that he's held since receiving a call-up from Triple-A St. Paul in mid-August. He'll hit the bench for the third time in four games Wednesday, with two of those absences coming against right-handed pitchers.
