Josh Palacios Stats

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Josh Palacios has been called up from Triple-A and is slated to make his MLB debut on Friday night against Andrew Heaney and the Los Angeles Angels. He is hitting ninth and playing right field in the game. Palacios was called up after Teoscar Hernandez was placed on the injured list due to being exposed to a case of COVID-19. The 25-year-old Palacios is a strong base stealing threat who has a little pop as well. At Double-A in 2019, he slashed .266/.371/.416 with seven home runs, 38 RBI, 43 runs and 15 stolen bases over 82 games. He could be an intriguing fantasy player at some point, but his stay in the Majors this time around might not be long.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Josh Palacios went 2-for-2 on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies and raised his spring batting average to .400. The prospect is 8-for-20 with four extra-base hits. Capable of playing all three outfield spots, Palacios likely won't open the season on the big league roster but his emergence, along with Jonathan Davis, gives the club excellent depth in the outfield behind George Springer, Teoscar Hernandez, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and Randal Grichuk. Palacios opened eyes at the Blue Jays' alternate training site in 2020 and was added to the 40-man roster over the winter.

Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Josh Palacios is off to a fast start to the spring. He entered Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles as a replacement for Randal Grichuk and went 3-for-3 with a double, triple, and a home run. The 25-year-old is now 5-for-7 this spring with four extra-base hits. Known more for his hitting tool and speed, Palacios made hitting adjustments last summer at the alternate training site which could be the source of the newly-discovered pop. He was added to the 40-man roster last November so he still has three minor-league options remaining but he could see playing time with the big league club in 2021.
