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
Signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Orioles in November of 2024.
Sitting after seven straight starts
Rivera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Analysis
After seeing his eight-game hitting streak come to an end following an 0-for-4 performance in Tuesday's 3-2 win, Rivera will get a breather Wednesday. Jeremiah Jackson will step in at third base in place of Rivera, who had started in each of the previous seven games.

Stat Review
How does Emmanuel Rivera compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

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

Analysis
Rivera has been impactful in 28 games for the Diamondbacks thus far, showing quality contact skills and no aversion to right-handed pitching. He's a candidate to step into a larger role down the stretch if these kind of results continue.
