Rivera is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against Houston, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Rivera finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row after previously starting 12 times in 13 games. He hit just .244/.279/.268 over that run of playing time, so he hasn't exactly earned everyday at-bats. Hunter Dozier will again start at the hot corner, with Ryan O'Hearn in right field.
