Julien will bat eighth and play first base Friday against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Julien wasn't part of the initial starting lineup, but Alan Roden has been scratched, opening up a spot for Julien. Since being recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Aug. 1, Julien is slashing .200/.259/.360 with a 29.6 percent K rate.

Julien went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Julien will start at first base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

After getting recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Julien started at second base in four straight games and went 2-for-12 with a double and a walk during that stretch. However, with the Twins bringing Luke Keaschall back from the injured list Tuesday, the left-handed-hitting Julien appears to have since faded into a reserve role. Julien will cede second base to Keaschall for a second straight day to close out the series with the Tigers, who have sent right-handed starters to the hill for both of those contests.

Julien will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Julien was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Luke Keaschall 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 traded away 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.

Julien went 3-for-4 with a home run Tuesday for Triple-A St. Paul. He's hitting .324/.457/.581 with five home runs in June at Triple-A.

EDGE Analysis

Julien is hitting .278/.430/.444 at Triple-A since he was sent down in early May. He's reduced his strikeout rate to 21.7 percent in June, which could show he's found some changes in his approach as a high strikeout rate has been his problem in the majors even with accompanying high walk rates. His recent hot streak could give him another shot in the majors soon with the Twins struggling and perhaps looking to shake up the roster.

The Twins optioned Julien to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Julien has been unable to find his footing this season, slashing only .198/.288/.319 across 104 plate appearances. With both Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Willi Castro (oblique) retuning from the 10-day injured list, Julien's playing time was set to drop significantly, so he'll head to St. Paul where he can see regular reps.

Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Southpaw Garrett Crochet is taking the hill for Boston, so Julien will remain on the bench for a second straight game. Brooks Lee will cover second base while Julien sits.

Julien isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Julien will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 2-for-16 with a home run and five strikeouts over his last five games. His absence will put Kody Clemens at second base.
