Pirates' Joshua Palacios: Sitting after two straight starts
Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
The lefty-hitting Palacios will hit the bench for the series finale after he had started both of the past two games, going 2-for-6 with three walks and three runs scored. Though he's not assured a regular role just yet, Palacios might have performed well enough in his last two starts to have emerged as the Bucs' preferred option in right field over Edward Olivares, who was withheld from the lineup for the past three contests after going 3-for-21 with two walks and no extra-base hits over his prior six starts. The righty-hitting Olivares is back in the lineup Sunday over Palacios while the Pirates take on southpaw Sean Manaea.

Pirates' Joshua Palacios: Joining Pirates on Wednesday
The Pirates will recall Palacios from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Since returning from the Triple-A injured list June 11, Palacios has slashed .362/.423/.511 with a homer and six RBI in 52 plate appearances. He'll now join the big-league club as the Pirates look to get more production out of their outfielders in light of the fact both Jack Suwinski (.542 OPS) and Michael Taylor (.492 OPS) have struggled at the plate all season.

Pirates' Joshua Palacios: Staying put in Triple-A
Palacios will not be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
It had been previously reported Tuesday that Palacios was bound for the majors, but the team will instead keep him in Indianapolis for now. The 28-year-old outfielder has missed two months of the season due to an injury, but he's posted a .934 OPS since returning from the IL on June 11. If his bat continues to stay hot, it's possible he still gets the call to Pittsburgh at some point -- especially if Jack Suwinski and Michael Taylor continue to struggle in the big leagues.

Pirates' Joshua Palacios: Headed to Indianapolis
Palacios was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Palacios began spring training with the potential to serve in a large-side platoon role in right field. However, the addition of Michael Taylor crowded the outfield in Pittsburgh, making Palacios more expendable. He'll likely be the top option for a promotion should an injury occur in the Pirates' outfield.

Pirates' Joshua Palacios: Ready for spring debut
Palacios (lower leg) will start in right field and bat leadoff in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Palacios will be making his spring debut after he suffered a lower leg injury early in camp that prompted the Pirates to slow play his entry into the Grapefruit League lineup. After slashing .239/.279/.413 with 10 home runs and five stolen bases across 264 plate appearances with Pittsburgh in 2023, Palacios may need a strong showing in spring to solidify his spot on the Opening Day roster. The lefty-hitting Palacios still has a minor-league option remaining, so the Pirates could choose to send him to Triple-A Indianapolis if he's unable to win a strong-side platoon role with the big club.
