Rivera was signed by the Angels in January to provide a defensively savvy veteran backup to Martin Maldonado. Between stops with the Mets and Cubs in 2017, Rivera hit .252/.302/.431 in his age-33 season over a combined 237 plate appearances. Most likely, he'll be limited to one or two starts each week, perhaps the personal catcher for assigned member of the Angels' starting rotation, but there is little reason to think he'll take on a larger role as long as Maldonado is healthy.
