Palacios went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.
The 26-year-old took Clarke Schmidt deep in the sixth inning for the game's first run, Palacios' his second long ball of the year. He has been on a tear of late in his strong-side platoon role, collecting multiple hits in four of his last six starts while batting .400 (10-for-25) with two doubles and a homer. Palacios' performance could have the Rays re-thinking their outfield alignment, as Josh Lowe (oblique) began his rehab assignment Friday playing center field instead of right field, suggesting it's Jose Siri who might lose his spot when Lowe returns, and not the Palacios-Amed Rosario tandem.
