Palacios began his professional career in the Mexican League in 1983 for the Rojos del Águila de Veracruz.

He was then signed by the Pirates, making his debut with them in September 1987. He was a member of the Pirates National League East division champions for three straight seasons, from 1990 to 1992.

After spending spring training with the Padres, he returned to Mexico for a season before signing with the Cardinals. He spent two seasons with St. Louis before being released after the 1995 season. After returning to Mexico once more for three years, he was picked up by the New York Mets in July 1999, appearing in seven games for their Norfolk Tides affiliate. He became a free agent after the season, signing with the Padres. He made his final major league appearance in May 2000, and was released that August. He was picked up by the Chicago Cubs, finishing the year with the triple-A Iowa Cubs. He returned to Mexico once more in 2001, playing for the Saraperos de Saltillo, the Piratas de Campeche, and finally the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos in 2003 before retiring at age 40.
