2024 Fantasy Outlook
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 Read Past Outlooks

April 2, 2024
The Marlins acquired Rivera from the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.
ANALYSIS
Rivera will be a candidate for some playing time at designated hitter and at third base on days Jake Burger plays first or is the DH. The 27-year-old is a career .247/.304/.380 hitter over parts of three major-league seasons. Jacob Amaya was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Mashing in limited sample
3BArizona Diamondbacks
June 7, 2023
Rivera is slashing .348/.383/.461 through 94 MLB plate appearances this season. The 26-year-old is following up on dominant 2023 minor-league results, having slashed .348/.378/.591 across 16 Triple-A games.
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.

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.
