Rockies Designate Infielder for Assignment
The Colorado Rockies have made a roster move, as they have designated outfielder Edouard Julien for assignment.
The Colorado Rockies have decided to assign infielder Edouard Julien to another team. According to Kyle Newman of the Denver Post, Julien will be designated for assignment. As reported by Newman, the Rockies have also recalled outfielder Zac Veen from their Triple-A affiliate in Albuquerque. Julien has made 88 appearances for the Rockies this season, contributing with three home runs, 20 RBI, and a .208 batting average.
Before joining Colorado, Julien played 64 games for the Minnesota Twins last season, where he hit three home runs, drove in 12 runs, and had a .220 average. With the Rockies now looking for infielders, teams interested in additional depth could consider Julien. He demonstrated his potential during his rookie year in 2023 with the Twins, when he hit 16 home runs, drove in 37 runs, and posted a .263 batting average in 109 games.
Zac Veen, a 2020 first-round draft pick, makes his debut with the Rockies this season. In his first 12 major league games last year, Veen hit one home run, went 1-for-5 with a double and an RBI, and maintained a .118 batting average.
