Twins Not Concerned About Edouard Julien's Wrist
2 months agoMinnesota Twins second baseman Edouard Julien (wrist) left the visitors' clubhouse at LECOM Park with his right wrist wrapped up after being hit by a pitch in the first inning of Friday's spring training loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, but the team has no initial concerns about his health. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli and a team trainer went to first base to check on Julien but left him in the game. Once back in the dugout, Julien was replaced in the field by Michael Helman in the bottom of the frame. Julien's ability to stay in the contest echoes the club's sentiment that the Canadian infielder's setback is of minimal concern. Following the offseason trade of Jorge Polanco, Julien is locked into Minnesota's everyday role at the keystone and is slashing a robust .421/.476/.789 over 21 plate appearances this spring. Don't let this recent injury influence the 24-year-old's 217.9 Yahoo ADP in fantasy drafts.
