The Rays announced last Tuesday that Palacios (knee) is progressing in his recovery and has been running the bases and taking part in defensive drills, MLB.com reports.

A right knee sprain forced Palacios to the injured list April 18 for the second time this season, after the infielder/outfielder previously opened the campaign on the shelf while recovering from a broken right ring finger. Palacios will eventually need to complete a minor-league rehab assignment before the Rays bring him back from the 10-day injured list.
