27-Year-Old Third Baseman3B
Arizona Diamondbacks
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. Read Past Outlooks

October 3, 2023
Rivera is not in the lineup Tuesday for Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
Evan Longoria will start at third base and bat eighth versus the Brewers and right-hander Corbin Burnes. Rivera had a promising first half this season with Arizona, but the 27-year-old slashed just .146/.234/.164 over his final 64 plate appearances dating back to the beginning of August.
