Cardinals' Richie Palacios: Traded to St. Louis

Palacios was traded to the Cardinals from the Guardians in exchange for cash considerations Friday.

Palacios was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Sunday. Following the trade, the outfielder will report to Triple-A Memphis, while he replaces Tyler O'Neill (back) on the 40-man roster after O'Neill was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday. Palacios has yet to appear in a major-league contest this season, posting a .217 average with three homers, 28 RBI, 41 runs and six stolen bases over 217 at-bats in 56 games with Triple-A Columbus.
