Juan Rivera went 3-for-4 and drove in two of the Dodgers' four runs on Wednesday. Even though Andre Ethier has been crazy hot, Don Mattingly stuck with the plan and used Rivera in the cleanup spot against the lefty tonight. Rivera has gone 6-for-11 in three games batting fourth. He's 2-for-11 hitting lower in the order, as he does against righties.

Juan Rivera went 3-for-4 with a homer while driving in two runs Tuesday against the Padres.

Rivera is expected to be the Dodgers' primary left fielder this season.

Juan Rivera doubled and homered in Monday's win over the Angels, plating four runs in the process. The home run was already Rivera's third of the spring. Set to make an absurd $4.5 million this season, Rivera should split time with Jerry Sands in left field, and could occasionally spell James Loney at first.

Dodgers signed OF Juan Rivera to a one-year, $4.5 million contract. He'll make $4 million guaranteed next season while the contract includes a $4 million club option for 2013 or a $500,000 buyout. It's a great deal for Rivera, who probably wouldn't have found a similar deal in free agency. The 33-year-old batted .273/.333/.406 with five homers, 46 RBI and a .740 OPS over 246 plate appearances with the Dodgers this season. As of now, he projects to share playing time with Jerry Sands in left field next season.
