The 26-year-old was designated for assignment by the Jays earlier this week as part of a flurry of roster moves once catcher Danny Jansen hit the injured list.
Palacios impressed during the spring, appearing in eight games and going 4-for-12 with two home runs, four RBI and an OPS of 1.467.
He got into eight games during the 2021 season, hitting .200 (7-for-35) with four RBI.
The Brooklyn native was selected by the Blue Jays in the third round of the 2016 MLB Draft out of Auburn.
