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.

The Pirates recalled Palacios from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios has slashed .230/.319/.344 in 20 games with the big club this season. He will likely be used as a reserve down the stretch for the Pirates.

The Pirates activated Palacios (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios is done with his rehab assignment from a strained left hamstring but the Pirates have elected to keep him at Indianapolis rather than add him to the big-league roster. He's put up a .663 OPS in 20 games with Pittsburgh this season.

Palacios (hamstring) is headed to Triple-A Indianapolis to begin a rehab assignment, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios has been shelved for the last week with a left hamstring strain. Because his absence has been brief, it would seem he has a shot to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Aug. 10. Palacios had been seeing regular reps in right field against right-handers before getting injured, but he could return as a backup following the Pirates' acquisition of Bryan De La Cruz.

The Pirates placed Palacios on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left hamstring strain, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios made an early exit from Monday's game versus the Astros due to a hamstring injury, and it will now officially cause him to miss at least the first portion of August. Bryan De La Cruz was officially activated to fill the open roster spot, and he figures to take over as Pittsburgh's primary right fielder.

Palacios isn't in the Pirates' lineup Tuesday versus the Astros after exiting with a hamstring injury Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios was removed from Monday's game against the Astros in the top of the fourth inning after pulling up awkwardly on a groundout, exiting for good in the following frame. Connor Joe is starting in right field Tuesday and batting seventh. However, Palacios will likely see less playing time even when healthy with the addition of Bryan De La Cruz via trade with the Marlins on Tuesday.

Palacios was removed from Monday's contest against the Astros as a result of left hamstring discomfort.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios pulled up lame on a ground out in top of the fourth inning, ultimately exiting the contest in the bottom of the fifth. He finished his day 0-for-2 with a strikeout and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being while more information on his status will likely come out in the near future.

EDGE Analysis
Palacios had started the last five games and nine of the last 10 contests, but he'll take a seat versus righty Andre Pallante. Connor Joe will pick up a start in right field in place of Palacios.

Palacios went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios took over in the leadoff spot Tuesday with Andrew McCutchen getting a day of rest, though it also marked his second time atop the order in Pittsburgh's last five games. Palacios had his path to playing time partially cleared with Edward Olivares optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
