Orioles INF Emmanuel Rivera elected free agency.

Rivera is one of the higher profile minor league free agents this offseason after appearing in 383 games in the majors since 2021. The 29-year-old corner infielder posted a pedestrian .575 OPS in 127 plate appearances over 42 games this past season for the Orioles. He offers some appeal as a lefty-mashing platoon option moving forward.

Orioles designated INF Emmanuel Rivera for assignment.

There’s no room for Rivera within Baltimore’s infield mix with Jordan Westburg back from the injured list. The 29-year-old third baseman figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and get a head start on free agency.

Orioles selected the contract of INF Emmanuel Rivera from Triple-A Norfolk.

Rivera was just designated for assignment and sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk in mid-June, but he’ll return as the Orioles are in need of extra infield depth with Jordan Westburg (finger) banged up. Rivera has hit just .232/.303/.275 with no home runs, three RBI and a 12/6 K/BB ratio in 76 plate appearances with the O’s this season.

Orioles sent IF Emmanuel Rivera outright to Triple-A Norfolk.

The 28-year-old infielder had been designated for assignment earlier in the week, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and has accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A. Rivera slashed a meager .232/.303/.275 with zero homers, three RBI and a 12/6 K/BB ratio in his 76 plate appearances with the O’s.

Orioles designated INF Emmanuel Rivera for assignment.

Rivera hit .232/.303/.275 in 76 plate appearances while Jordan Westburg was out. There’s little upside here, but Rivera is competent enough that someone might want to add him to their infield.

Emmanuel Rivera is starting at third base and batting eighth for the Orioles on Thursday against the Twins.

Ramon Urias was activated off the IL on Wednesday, and both he and Rivera started one game of Wednesday’s doubleheader, but it will be Rivera back in the lineup on Thursday. It’s possible the Orioles are just being cautious with Urias fresh off the IL, and we’d still expect him to take over for Rivera, especially against right-handed pitching.
