Rivera will start at third base and bat eighth Wednesday against the Yankees.

The Royals' decision to demote Edward Olivares to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday looks like it will clear the way for Rivera to take on an everyday role at third base, while Hunter Dozier will cover Olivares' spot in right field. While starting in six of the Royals' last seven games, Rivera has gone 5-for-21 with two runs and two RBI.
