Julien Traded to Rockies, Expected to See Regular Playing Time

The Colorado Rockies acquired infielder Edouard Julien from the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday in exchange for Jace Kaminska and cash considerations. Julien, who is out of minor-league options, has a slash line of .208/.299/.324 with a 32% strikeout rate over the last two seasons, but also boasts a 13% walk rate and 11.8% barrel rate at the major-league level. The left-handed hitter is anticipated to receive regular playing time against right-handed pitching, potentially at multiple positions for Colorado.
