There’s no room for Rivera within Baltimore’s infield mix with Jordan Westburg back from the injured list. The 29-year-old third baseman figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and get a head start on free agency.

The 29-year-old infielder has now been promoted to the big leagues, designated for assignment and sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk twice in the past month. He’ll continue to function as surplus infield depth for the O’s.

Rivera was just designated for assignment and sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk in mid-June, but he’ll return as the Orioles are in need of extra infield depth with Jordan Westburg (finger) banged up. Rivera has hit just .232/.303/.275 with no home runs, three RBI and a 12/6 K/BB ratio in 76 plate appearances with the O’s this season.

The 28-year-old infielder had been designated for assignment earlier in the week, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and has accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A. Rivera slashed a meager .232/.303/.275 with zero homers, three RBI and a 12/6 K/BB ratio in his 76 plate appearances with the O’s.

Another reason to think that Coby Mayo’s stay with the Orioles will be short. Rivera was quite fortunate today, picking up his hits on balls in play with xBAs of .330, .260 and .140 (he struck out in his other at-bat). Mayo was used as a DH with Rivera at third and hit balls 109.3 and 106.5 mph, but he had only one single to show for it.

Rivera provides the Orioles with some extra infield depth as starting third baseman Jordan Westburg hits the injured list with a hamstring strain. The 28-year-old should get some opportunities against left-handed pitching, but he can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.
