Palacios (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday at Triple-A Indianapolis, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Palacios has been shelved for the last week with a left hamstring strain. Because his absence has been brief, he would seem to have a chance at being activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Aug. 10. Palacios had been seeing regular reps in right field against right-handers before getting injured, but he could return as a backup following the Pirates' acquisition of Bryan De La Cruz ahead of the trade deadline.
