Palacios went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios opened the game's scoring with his first career leadoff homer, slugging it 400 feet off starter Osvaldo Bido. The 29-year-old outfielder has lately been the strong side of a platoon with veteran Michael Taylor. Overall, Palacios is now slashing .222/.317/.306 with four runs scored and three RBI over 41 plate appearances since being called up April 10.

Palacios will start in right field and bat leadoff in Thursday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios will occupy the leadoff spot for the second game in a row and appears to have at least temporarily supplanted Nick Maton as the White Sox's preferred table-setter versus right-handed pitching. The 29-year-old likely doesn't have much of a leash atop the batting order, however, as he enters Thursday's game with a meager .200/.310/.200 slash line across 29 plate appearances with the big club this season.

Palacios is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios has been drawing most of the starts in right field against right-handed pitching of late, but he'll take a seat for this one versus Red Sox righty Walker Buehler. Michael Taylor is in right field and batting eighth for the White Sox.

Palacios went 1-for-3 with a run scored Sunday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios was recalled April 10 to replace Mike Tauchman (hamstring) on the roster. The White Sox have faced a right-handed starter only six times across 10 games since, though Palacios has been in the lineup each of the last five times. He's gone only 3-for-19 since being recalled, but he may have the chance to maintain the role until Tauchman can return.

The White Sox selected Palacios' contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The addition of Palacios helps restore some depth to the Chicago outfield after Mike Tauchman (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Andrew Benintendi (adductor) also went on the IL a day earlier, leaving both of Chicago's corner-outfield spots in flux at the moment. The White Sox will likely mix and match at both spots while Benintendi and Tauchman are on the shelf, with Palacios, Austin Slater, Brooks Baldwin, Michael Taylor and Greg Jones all being candidates to see playing time at either outfield position. The 29-year-old Palacios owns a career .230/.286/.364 slash line with 12 home runs and seven steals over 433 plate appearances across parts of four seasons in the big leagues with Toronto, Washington and Pittsburgh.

The White Sox signed Palacios to a minor-league contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios recently elected free agency after the Pirates removed him from their 40-man roster and has now found a new home. The 29-year-old outfielder is a career .230/.286/.364 hitter over parts of four major-league seasons.

Palacios elected free agency Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios struggled at the dish during spring training and will seek a fresh start elsewhere after being designated for assignment March 22 and later choosing free agency over an outright assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis. He appeared in 23 games a season ago for the Pirates, hitting .224 with two home runs, nine RBI, one stolen base and 10 runs scored.

Palacios cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios lost his place on the 40-man roster after going 4-for-19 in the Grapefruit League. He'll stay put in the Pirates' farm system after passing through waivers unclaimed and should play regularly at Indianapolis, where he turned in an .867 OPS across 209 plate appearances in 2024.

Palacios was designated for assignment Saturday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios was in the mix as a starting outfielder in Pittsburgh entering spring training, but the signing of Tommy Pham hurt his standing on the roster. He also didn't help his chances by hitting .211 with no extra-base hits across 19 Grapefruit League at-bats.
