EDGE Analysis

Palacios will start in right field and bat ninth Wednesday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios appears to have settled in as the primary replacement for Teoscar Hernandez in the corner outfield after the latter was placed on the COVID-19 injured list following his positive test for the coronavirus. The 25-year-old will be picking up his fifth straight start Wednesday after going 5-for-13 with five runs and three RBI through his first four games.

Palacios went 4-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and four runs scored Saturday in a 15-1 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios' second big-league start was one for the record books as he became the second player in American League history to collect at least four hits and at least four runs in one of his first two games. The 25-year-old is currently on the big-league squad as a temporary replacement for Teoscar Hernandez (COVID-19 IL), but he could earn a longer look if he continues to collect hits as he did Saturday.

Palacios has been recalled by the Blue Jays and will start Friday's game against the Angels, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios was sent to Triple-A Buffalo ahead of Opening Day, but he'll rejoin the major-league club after Teoscar Hernandez was placed on the COVID-19 injured list after he was exposed to someone who'd tested positive outside of the team. Palacios will take Hernandez's place in right field for Friday's matchup, batting ninth.

Palacios was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios was always a long shot to crack the Opening Day roster, as he's yet to play a game above Double-A. He gave it his best shot this spring, hitting .400/.455/.800, which could help his case for a promotion should an injury strike one of the outfielders ahead of him on the depth chart.

Palacios went 3-for-3 with a home run and five RBI in Friday's spring game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
It's going to be tough for Palacios to land a spot on the Blue Jay's Opening Day roster given the team's outfield depth, but he is giving it his best effort thus far, going 5-for-9 (.555) with four extra-base hits and six RBI through four appearances this spring.

Palacios was added to the Blue Jays' 40-man roster Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Palacios failed to make his major-league debut during the shortened 2020 season, but he'll be protected from the upcoming Rule 5 draft. The 25-year-old had a .372 OBP with eight home runs and 15 stolen bases at the Double-A level in 2019.
