Richie Palacios - Page 9 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Making solid contact Palacios has gone 3-for-6 with a walk and a run scored over three Cactus League games.

Impact Palacios will be away from the Guardians while representing the Netherlands at the World Baseball Classic. A strong showing in the international event could help his case as a potential fourth outfielder this season, though he'll likely have to battle with Will Brennan for that spot. Palacios is best suited to left field, but with Steven Kwan in that position for now, Palacios may need to add more versatility to get a longer look in the majors.

Returns to minors The Guardians optioned Palacios to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

Impact Cleveland will swap Palacios off the 28-man active roster for another rookie outfielder in Will Brennan, whose contract was selected from Triple-A. Palacios had started just once in the Guardians' last 12 games, so he'll get the chance to pick up regular at-bats at Columbus before the International League season wraps up.

Notches steal Palacios drew a walk and stole a base in Friday's 4-3 win over the Twins.

Impact Palacios pinch hit for Luke Maile in the eighth inning and stole second, though he was left on base. Playing time has been scarce for Palacios, who has started just five games since he was called up Aug. 23. With Steven Kwan, Myles Straw and Oscar Gonzalez entrenched as the Guardians' preferred outfield from left to right, Palacios is unlikely to see many additional opportunities to close out the year. He's slashing .241/.303/.296 with two steals, 10 RBI, seven runs scored and six doubles through 119 plate appearances.

Sent down Friday Palacios was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

Impact Palacios drew starts in the last three games and went 2-for-8 with a walk and a strikeout. However, he'll head to the minors after Nolan Jones was called up Friday. Jones should serve as the Guardians' primary right fielder while Oscar Gonzalez (abdomen) is on the injured list.

On bench for matinee Palacios isn't starting the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Impact Even though right-hander Garrett Hill is on the mound during Monday's matinee, Palacios will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game. Franmil Reyes is shifting to right field while Gabriel Arias enters the lineup at the hot corner.

JULY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Sunday against lefty Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact The lefty-hitting Palacios is projected to see an uptick in playing time after everyday right fielder Oscar Gonzalez (abdomen) was moved to the injured list Saturday, but Palacios will take a seat for the series finale with southpaw Jordan Montgomery on the hill for New York. The righty-hitting Ernie Clement will instead start alongside Myles Straw and Steven Kwan in the Guardians outfield. Clement and Palacios could end up forming a platoon while Gonzalez is out, with Clement set to benefit from the larger share of starting chances as the left-handed hitter.

JULY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Playing time remains limited Palacios is hitting .188 (6-for-32) with four walks since the start of June.

Impact With Oscar Gonzalez (abdomen) on the injured list, it wouldn't be surprising to see Palacios pick up a little more playing time in the short term. He's started two of the last three games, but he'll need to hit to keep himself in the mix in the corner outfield. Palacios' primary competitor for starts is likely to be Ernie Clement. Palacios is slashing .253/.313/.320 with no home runs, a stolen base, 10 RBI and five runs scored through 82 plate appearances.

JULY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Playing time sparse Palacios has started just four of 13 games in June.

Impact While he occasionally comes off the bench, he's gone just 4-for-15 (.267) with two doubles, four RBI and a run scored in eight games in June. The 25-year-old outfielder has simply been crowded out of the regular mix, as Myles Straw and Oscar Gonzalez have grabbed everyday roles while Steven Kwan and Oscar Mercado have functioned as a platoon in left field. Palacios' playing time is likely to be limited to the odd start versus right-handed pitchers -- he's yet to start against a southpaw all season.

Impact The 25-year-old spent nearly a week in the minors, but he'll rejoin the Guardians as part of a move after Franmil Reyes (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. Palacios has appeared in 12 big-league games this year and has hit .270 with a double, two RBI, a run and a stolen base. He should serve mainly as outfield depth during Reyes' absence.

Two hits, steal in loss Palacios went 2-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Twins.

Impact Palacios was the only Guardian hitter to post multiple hits Sunday, and he also recorded his first major-league steal. The outfielder has appeared in 10 games this season, and he's hit safely in seven of them. He owns a .300/.344/.333 slash line with two RBI and a double across 32 plate appearances, though his time in the majors may be limited to as long as Josh Naylor is on the COVID-19 injured list.

Heads back to minors The Guardians optioned Palacios to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Cleveland needing to bring up a starting pitcher (Konnor Pilkington) from Triple-A Columbus for Sunday's series finale with the Blue Jays and the team also in need of another bullpen arm (Kirk McCarty) to offer length behind him, Palacios was an extendable piece for the big club. The 24-year-old outfielder started in seven of the Guardians' 12 games following his April 25 call-up, going 7-for-27 (.259 average) with two walks, a double and two RBI.

The rookie has started in six of Cleveland's 11 games overall since receiving a promotion from Triple-A Columbus and is slashing .316/.381/.368 with two RBI through his first 21 big-league plate appearances.
