Emmanuel Rivera, having been designated for assignment by the Orioles, cleared waivers and has opted to accept an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. With over three years of MLB service, Rivera retains rights that allow him to stay with the organization and continue earning his $1MM salary. While the Orioles face a challenging season, his defensive skills and experience may offer a potential opportunity for more playing time should trades occur as the season progresses.
Rivera's acceptance to stay with the Orioles allows him to keep his $1MM salary this year while providing valuable non-roster infield depth for the team.
Despite having a disappointing season overall, the Orioles remain hopeful that Rivera will see more playing time if trades are made prior to the deadline.
