26-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Detroit Tigers
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Palacios made his MLB debut with the Twins in 2022, registering a middling .143/.184/.229 slash line with two home runs and six RBI across 30 games. Palacios fits the traditional mold of a soft-hitting middle infielder who brings most of his value with his glove. That can benefit an MLB team, but it doesn't move the needle much for fantasy managers. Palacios was waived after the regular season and claimed by the Tigers, who outrighted him to Triple-A Toledo. The 26-year-old is off the 40-man roster as a result, so he's nothing more than organizational depth at this point, and he will likely spend most of 2023 with the Mud Hens. Palacios may see some playing time in the majors at some point if the team deals with any injuries, but he's not really fantasy-relevant at the moment. Look elsewhere for middle infield production.

Moves to minors camp
SSDetroit Tigers  AAA
March 20, 2023
The Tigers reassigned Palacios to minor-league camp Monday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The slick-fielding Palacios reached the majors with the Twins in his age-25 season in 2022, but after slashing just .143/.184/.229 in 77 plate appearances, Minnesota wasn't compelled to keep him on the 40-man roster heading into the upcoming season. Detroit put in a waiver claim on Palacios in October before designating him for assignment a month later and then outrighting him to Triple-A Toledo. Palacios still received the opportunity to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster in big-league camp, but after falling short in his bid for a utility role, he'll presumably stick around in the organization as infield depth at Toledo.

AL FAAB Factor: Waiver Pickups of the Week

Erik Siegrist sifts through the available options in the AL as Ross Stripling gets ready to move back into the rotation for Toronto.
2016 Fantasy Outlook
Palacios had an impressive first season of professional ball in the U.S. by hitting .370/.398/.540 between two levels of rookie ball. The Venezuelan had showed promise with a .802 OPS in the 2014 Dominican Summer League. His sample size in rookie ball is small at just 57 games, but at just 19 he's a name to keep an eye on over the next year. He's been playing shortstop, but it's not clear if he has the glove to stay there or move to third base.
