The White Sox outrighted Palacios to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.
Palacios will remain in the organization upon clearing waivers after the White Sox designated him for assignment Friday. Before being pushed off the 40-man roster, Palacios had been serving as a strong-side platoon outfielder for much of the season but slashed just .203/.292/.305 with three home runs and nine RBI over 145 plate appearances with Chicago.

White Sox's Joshua Palacios: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The White Sox designated Palacios for assignment Friday.
Palacios has been stuck in a prolonged slump recently, going just 4-for-33 across his last 14 games. His poor performance will now result in him being kicked off the White Sox's 26-man and 40-man rosters, and the team will recall Brooks Baldwin from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the void on the big-league squad. The 29-year-old Palacios owns a .597 OPS through 145 plate appearances this season, making it unlikely another team claims him off waivers.

White Sox's Joshua Palacios: Productive series against Mariners
Rotowire
Palacios went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Mariners.
Palacios has served on the large side of a platoon in right field for the White Sox and struggled to just a .218 average across 100 plate appearances. However, he slugged his second home run of the season Wednesday to cap a productive series against the Mariners, during which he went 4-for-10 with two doubles, a home run and two RBI. Both Mike Tauchman (hamstring) and Andrew Benintendi (calf) are on rehab assignments, and Palacios will likely head to a bench role when both are activated.

White Sox's Joshua Palacios: On bench against lefty
Rotowire
Palacios is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Palacios will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Reds send another lefty (Nick Lodolo) to the bump. Though he's been holding down a strong-side platoon role in right field lately, Palacios' playing time could soon fall by the wayside. Mike Tauchman (hamstring) and Austin Slater (knee) are both in the midst of rehab assignments and could form the White Sox's preferred platoon arrangement in right field upon their returns from the 10-day injured list.

White Sox's Joshua Palacios: Taking seat Thursday
Rotowire
Palacios is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.
Palacios will hit the bench after leading off and starting in right field in six of Chicago's last seven games. The 29-year-old slashed .211/.348/.368 during that stretch, but he may have to settle for a spot lower in the batting order the next time he's included in the lineup. The White Sox activated shortstop Chase Meidroth (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Thursday and immediately installed him into the leadoff spot for the series finale versus Milwaukee.

White Sox's Joshua Palacios: Cracks leadoff homer
Rotowire

Palacios opened the game's scoring with his first career leadoff homer, slugging it 400 feet off starter Osvaldo Bido. The 29-year-old outfielder has lately been the strong side of a platoon with veteran Michael Taylor since Mike Tauchman (hamstring) is on the injured list. Overall, Palacios is now slashing .222/.317/.306 with four runs scored and three RBI over 41 plate appearances since being called up April 10.

White Sox's Joshua Palacios: Getting another look as leadoff man
Rotowire
Palacios will start in right field and bat leadoff in Thursday's game against the Twins.
Palacios will occupy the leadoff spot for the second game in a row and appears to have at least temporarily supplanted Nick Maton as the White Sox's preferred table-setter versus right-handed pitching. The 29-year-old likely doesn't have much of a leash atop the batting order, however, as he enters Thursday's game with a meager .200/.310/.200 slash line across 29 plate appearances with the big club this season.

White Sox's Joshua Palacios: Settling into strong-side platoon
Rotowire
Palacios went 1-for-3 with a run scored Sunday against the Red Sox.
Palacios was recalled April 10 to replace Mike Tauchman (hamstring) on the roster. The White Sox have faced a right-handed starter only six times across 10 games since, though Palacios has been in the lineup each of the last five times. He's gone only 3-for-19 since being recalled, but he may have the chance to maintain the role until Tauchman can return.

White Sox's Joshua Palacios: Receives call-up to majors
Rotowire
The White Sox selected Palacios' contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.
The addition of Palacios helps restore some depth to the Chicago outfield after Mike Tauchman (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Andrew Benintendi (adductor) also went on the IL a day earlier, leaving both of Chicago's corner-outfield spots in flux at the moment. The White Sox will likely mix and match at both spots while Benintendi and Tauchman are on the shelf, with Palacios, Austin Slater, Brooks Baldwin, Michael Taylor and Greg Jones all being candidates to see playing time at either outfield position. The 29-year-old Palacios owns a career .230/.286/.364 slash line with 12 home runs and seven steals over 433 plate appearances across parts of four seasons in the big leagues with Toronto, Washington and Pittsburgh.

Rotowire
Palacios cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Palacios lost his place on the 40-man roster after going 4-for-19 in the Grapefruit League. He'll stay put in the Pirates' farm system after passing through waivers unclaimed and should play regularly at Indianapolis, where he turned in an .867 OPS across 209 plate appearances in 2024.

Pirates' Joshua Palacios: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Palacios was designated for assignment Saturday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
He was in the mix as a starting outfielder in Pittsburgh entering spring training, but the signing of Tommy Pham hurt Palacios' standing on the roster. He also didn't help his chances by hitting .211 with no extra-base hits across 19 Grapefruit League at-bats.
