Edouard Julien Back In The Big Leagues
2 years agoThe Minnesota Twins recalled infield prospect Edouard Julien from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday after placing second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list. Julien, the team's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is starting at second base and hitting leadoff on Saturday against Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Trevor Richards. The 24-year-old left-handed-hitting Canadian has gone only 14-for-62 (.226) in his first 19 big-league games in 2023, but he's been decent against right-handed pitching and has all four of his home runs against them. Julien is worth a pickup in deep-mixed leagues for middle infield depth, and he should play regularly against righties at the keystone in Minnesota until Polanco returns.
