Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
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.
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
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.
