Rays' Richie Palacios: In right field Opening Day

Palacios will start in right field and bat sixth in Thursday's season opener versus the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays' outfield is a bit banged up, and Palacios will get the first crack in right field in place of Josh Lowe (oblique). Palacios was acquired via trade from the Cardinals over the offseason.
