Rivas will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Rivas will pick up his third straight start at second base and looks like he'll get a trial in an everyday role after Dylan Moore (hip) recently joined Ryan Bliss (biceps) on the injured list. Though Moore is expected to spend the minimum 10 days on the shelf, he could be deployed more frequently at third base or in right field if the Mariners want to keep regular playing time available for Rivas. Since getting called up from Triple-A Tacoma on April 9, Rivas is hitting .308 with three stolen bases and an impressive 9:6 BB:K over 35 plate appearances.

Rivas went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Rivas has impressed while starting three of Seattle's last four games, going 6-for-12 in that span. The 27-year-old switch-hitter has primarily started against left-handed pitching, though he's making a case for a more prominent role in the Mariners' lineup. Rivas appeared in 43 games last season, slashing .233/.333/.274 with 10 runs scored, eight RBI and three steals.

Rivas went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on April 9, Rivas has started at second base in five of the Mariners' ensuing 12 games. Three of those five starts have come against left-handed starting pitchers, and the switch-hitting Rivas will remain in the lineup at the keystone again Thursday while the Red Sox send southpaw Garrett Crochet to the hill. Rivas will likely continue to occupy the short side of a platoon at second base with the right-handed-hitting Dylan Moore, who typically plays elsewhere around the diamond or in the outfield when the Mariners face lefties.

The Mariners recalled Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rivas was with the big club briefly earlier this month but didn't see any action. He might be used some at second base while Ryan Bliss (biceps) is on the shelf.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners recalled Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Jorge Polanco away on paternity leave, the Mariners will call up Rivas to give the team additional infield depth for the next several days. The 27-year-old turned in a .607 OPS in 86 plate appearances with the M's last season but has already blasted two home runs in three Triple-A games this year.

The Mariners optioned Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was competing for a spot on Seattle's Opening Day bench but will instead begin the campaign back at Tacoma. Rivas had an .865 OPS in 63 games at Triple-A last year but struggled over 86 plate appearances in the big leagues with a .233/.333/.274 slash line.

Rivas (ankle) will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Rivas has been sidelined since late February after turning his left ankle while participating in infield drills. After a week of rest, he's been cleared to return to game action and continue competing for a spot on Seattle's Opening Day bench.

Rivas turned his left ankle during infield drills Tuesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rivas injured his ankle while stepping on second base and had to limp off the practice field. The Mariners are optimistic that he'll need only a few days of rest before returning to workouts. Rivas is competing this spring for a reserve infielder job.

Rivas entered Monday's loss to the Athletics as a pinch runner in the top of the eighth inning and recorded a stolen base.

EDGE Analysis

Rivas swiped third on Dylan Moore's swinging strikeout, but he was left stranded 90 feet away from home plate when Mitch Haniger also went down on strikes to close out the frame. Rivas had been out of the starting nine for the fourth time in the five games since J.P. Crawford's activation from the injured list, and although the latter is scuffling at the plate, Rivas figures to continue seeing only intermittent playing time for the foreseeable future.
