The Orioles outrighted Rivera to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rivera had the ability to reject the outright assignment and become a free agent, but he's declined to do so and will remain in the organization. The veteran infielder has slashed .250/.291/.283 over 42 games during his time with the Orioles in 2025.

The Orioles designated Rivera for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Baltimore selected the 29-year-old's contract from Triple-A Norfolk in late August to fill the roster spot of Jordan Westburg, but Westburg is making his return from the IL on Tuesday. Rivera played 16 games during his two-plus weeks in the majors and had a .580 OPS, which is on par with his production in the majors earlier in 2025.

Rivera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Rivera started at third base in each of the last three games, but he could fade into more of a part-time role after Tyler O'Neill was reinstated from the injured list Friday. Though O'Neill served as the Orioles' designated hitter in his first two games upon his return, he may see more time in right field moving forward, which would likely result in Jeremiah Jackson poaching starts from Rivera at third base. Since being promoted from Triple-A Norfolk on Aug. 27, Rivera has slashed a weak .265/.265/.286 over 13 games.

Rivera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE 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 last seven games.

Rivera will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

He'll draw his third consecutive start at the hot corner and looks like he'll have an opportunity to play on a frequent basis until the Orioles get either of Jordan Westburg (ankle) or Tyler O'Neill (wrist) back from the injured list. Rivera has been running hot at the plate since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk last Wednesday, going 6-for-17 with six RBI.

Rivera went 2-for-5 with four RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Rivera took care of business with a pair of two-run singles to account for a majority of the Orioles' runs in this win. He has gone 6-for-17 (.353) over five games since his most recent call-up Aug. 27. He's sharing third base with Jeremiah Jackson for now, though both players figure to see their chances drop once Jordan Westburg (ankle) is able to return. Over 94 plate appearances in the majors this year, Rivera is slashing .253/.309/.287 with no home runs, three doubles, nine RBI, three runs scored and one stolen base.

The Orioles selected Rivera's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rivera has been up and down multiple times between Norfolk and Baltimore this season, slashing only .229/.299/.271 over 26 games with the big club. He could see a decent amount of playing time at third base while Jordan Westburg (ankle) is on the injured list.

Rivera accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday after clearing waivers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rivera logged only one at-bat during his three-day stint in the bigs and will now return to Norfolk, where he's slashed .280/.358/.312 through 106 plate appearances. Rivera remains an option to rejoin the Orioles later this summer if Baltimore's infield depth is tested.

The Orioles designated Rivera for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rivera got one at-bat in his last game with Baltimore on Monday and only got a single hit in his 10 plate appearances during June. Baltimore designated the 29-year-old for assignment with Dylan Carlson getting recalled from Triple-A Norfolk.

The Orioles selected Rivera's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The move gives the Orioles additional infield depth with Jordan Westburg currently day-to-day due to a left finger injury that he aggravated during Friday's 22-8 win over the Rays. Rivera was DFA'd by Baltimore on June 10 and was outrighted to Norfolk two days later after clearing waivers. He has gone 6-for-28 (.214) with four walks and four RBI in Triple-A since his outright assignment.
