2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rivera batted .214/.294/.269 with the Marlins over 97 games when he was designated for assignment in August. The Orioles claimed him off waivers, after which he played about half of the time, recording an impressive .313/.370/.578 line. Perhaps rejuvenated by playing for a competitive team, Rivera's average exit velocity increased almost four mph, fueling a .364 BABIP. His history suggests that this is unsustainable, but it likely earned Rivera a chance to win a bench job in the spring. He can play both corner infield spots, but the Orioles are well-stocked at both spots, so Rivera will have to earn a reserve role. Even if he does, playing time will be scant and his career .676 OPS suggests he won't approach last year's .948 mark in just 73 plate appearances after joining Baltimore. Read Past Outlooks
Outrighted to Norfolk
Rivera cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rivera was dropped from Baltimore's 40-man roster Tuesday after slashing .232/.303/.275 across 76 plate appearances in the majors, but he'll officially remain with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old's OPS jumps up to .708 in Triple-A, but he'll likely need to perform significantly better in order to get another shot with the big club.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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
