2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rivera's path to any fantasy viability took a hit when Arizona traded for Eugenio Suarez during the offseason. It was one thing for Rivera to serve as a backup to an aging Evan Longoria, but Suarez does not need much time off and Rivera could find his path to 300 plate appearances severely challenged as long as he remains with Arizona this season. He can handle both infield corner positions well and being out of options all but assures he remains with a club in that type of capacity for this season. He has never quite shown enough bat to profile as an everyday player and a career .247/.304/.380 line in 740 major league plate appearances reinforces that line of thought. His in-season flexibility is a nice resource for mono leagues but mixed league fantasy managers can safely overlook him Read Past Outlooks

Starts at shortstop
Rivera started at shortstop and went 0-for-1 with two walks in Thursday's spring game against Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Rivera filled in for the injured Geraldo Perdomo (lower body), who missed the team's previous two Cactus League games. Jace Peterson started at shortstop Tuesday and Wednesday before Rivera. Perdomo's injury is not considered serious, and he's expected back in the lineup this weekend. There was a report early in camp that the Diamondbacks want Rivera to be the backup shortstop, but he's only played the position in winter ball and just a few innings this spring. That may partially be the reason why Arizona signed well-seasoned shortstop Elvis Andrus.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Rivera began the season with the Royals, mostly serving in a reserve capacity but also seeing regular action as an injury replacement. He posted a .246/.294/.414 line in 204 plate appearances before being sent to Triple-A on July 29. Shortly thereafter, he was traded to the Diamondbacks where he finished the season just .227/.304/.424. His season was cut short with a fractured left wrist but is expected to be ready for spring training. Rivera can play both corner infield spots, but both are occupied by established players, so Rivera may see most of his action pinch-hitting against southpaw relievers. He has some pop in the event regular playing time unfolds, but for fantasy purposes, Rivera is still relegated to NL-only duty.
