St. Louis Cardinals AAA
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rivas spent the majority of his 2023 season with Triple-A El Paso, though he was shipped to Pittsburgh at the trade deadline and got fairly regular run at first base for the final two months of the campaign. Across 106 plate appearances in that span, he hit .234/.305/.436 while striking out 27.3 percent of the time. Since the close of the season, he's been claimed by both the Guardians and Angels off waivers and could have the chance to earn a backup first base or DH role in Los Angeles behind Nolan Schanuel. Even with regular playing time, Rivas's skill profile isn't particularly inspiring, though it is worth noting that he raised his launch angle to 11.1 degrees and his flyball rate to 41 percent in 2023. If he can keep those improvements and find his way to some playing time, he could be a corner infield option in the deepest of leagues. Those hopes aren't worth the use of a draft pick.
