After starting the last three games while going 3-for-10 with a double, two walks, four RBI and a run, Palacios will retreat to the bench while southpaw Ryan Weathers takes the hill for New York.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Palacios will hit the bench for the fourth time in five games, with two absences coming against right-handed starters and the other two coming against lefties. He had previously been occupying the strong side of a platoon at second base with Ben Williamson, but the left-handed-hitting Palacios may be in line for only a part-time role against righties while Williamson has been productive at the dish of late.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
