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

EDGE Analysis

After starting at third base against lefties Dallas Keuchel and Julio Urias in the Diamondbacks' last two games and going 0-for-7 with four strikeouts, Rivera will move to the bench Wednesday for the second straight game in which Arizona has opposed a right-hander. Trade-deadline pickup Jace Peterson will get the nod at the hot corner against Dodgers righty Bobby Miller and appears to have moved into the strong side of a platoon with Rivera at third base.

Rivera is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Jace Peterson will start at third base and bat sixth versus the Dodgers and right-hander Bobby Miller. Rivera has gone 0-for-17 with no walks and six strikeouts since the calendar flipped to August.

Rivera started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Rivera's 10th-inning single gave the Diamondbacks a brief lead before the Giants scored in the bottom of the frame. It was his sixth straight game with hit; he's 8-for-20 during the streak. A series of moves over the last few days impacts third base going forward. After placing Evan Longoria (back) on the injured list Saturday, Arizona traded infielder Josh Rojas to Seattle then acquired infielder Jace Peterson from Athletics. Peterson is essentially a Rojas replacement -- a left-handed bat that plays second and third base -- and could emerge as a platoon mate of Rivera.

Rivera isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Saturday against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Rivera will get a breather Saturday after putting together a four-game hitting streak and going 6-for-17 with a homer and three runs scored in that span. Josh Rojas will start at the hot corner in Rivera's place and bat seventh.

Rivera went 3-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 10-6 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

All three of Rivera's hits were singles in this contest. He's gone 10-for-42 (.238) over 12 contests in July while sharing third base with Evan Longoria. Rivera boasts a .290/.330/.398 slash line with three home runs, 22 RBI, 31 runs scored, one stolen base and 11 doubles through 200 plate appearances this season. He could continue to wrangle playing time away from Longoria, who has gone just 4-for-27 (.148) this month.

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

EDGE Analysis

Rivera will take a seat after he started each of the past three games at third base while going 2-for-9 with a solo home run and a walk. Evan Longoria will spell him at third base.

Rivera went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 7-5 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Rivera's blast was the second of back-to-back homers in the seventh inning that turned a 1-0 deficit into a 4-1 lead before the bullpen let it slip away. The home run was the second in as many starts for Rivera, who had entered the All-Star break in a slump but is 4-for-13 with three extra-base hits to begin the second half. He continues to have an edge in playing time at third base over Evan Longoria.

Rivera is out of the lineup Wednesday versus Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Evan Longoria will play third base and bat sixth after Rivera logged three straight starts at the hot corner. Rivera seems to have again gained a leg up on the position, though his overall offensive production remains rather underwhelming for fantasy purposes.

Rivera started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Rivera and Evan Longoria have jockeyed for starts at the hot corner with the former's playing time on an uptick. Unfortunately, Rivera heads into the All-Star break hitless in the last 11 at-bats. After his callup in late April, Rivera posted a .361/.391/.472 line over his first 33 games, but that dropped to .145/.158/.164 in the previous 14 contests. There's room for improvement at third base; the Diamondbacks rank 21st with a .686 OPS from its third basemen.

Rivera will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Pirates, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight day and the fourth time in six contests, Rivera will man third base. Meanwhile, Evan Longoria has been on the bench on all four occasions that Rivera has started, which likely signals that the former has been moved into more of a part-time role. Despite the uptick in playing time, Rivera doesn't profile as an especially enticing fantasy option, as he's batting an excellent .296 but otherwise lacks category juice. He's delivered just one home run and one stolen base across 168 plate appearances on the season.
