Vivas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
Vivas will retreat to the bench after he had started at second base or third base in five of the previous six games while going 4-for-15 with one walk, two RBI and one run during that span. The Nationals still appear to view Nasim Nunez and Curtis Mead as the preferred options at the keystone and hot corner, respectively, so Vivas will likely be in line for just a part-time role when Washington is at full strength.

Nationals' Jorbit Vivas: On bench Sunday
Rotowire
Vivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
The left-handed-hitting Vivas had started six of the Nationals' last seven games, seeing time at second base, third base and DH, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for the Giants. With a .780 OPS through 54 plate appearances, Vivas has put himself in consideration for regular reps against right-handed pitching, but Jose Tena (.811 OPS in 36 plate appearances) is also jockeying with Vivas for the same spot in the lineup.

Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Back with big club
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Vivas from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old infielder will come up from Triple-A due to the open spot on the 26-man active roster created by the Yankees designating veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu for assignment. Vivas has posted a poor .522 OPS through 51 plate appearances in the majors this season, though he's slashed .254/.390/.354 since returning to Triple-A in early June. Oswald Peraza will make his fourth straight start at third base Wednesday against the Mariners, but manager Aaron Boone said that Vivas and J.C. Escarra will also vie for playing time at the position after Jazz Chisholm was recently moved over to second base, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.

Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Sitting against righty
Rotowire
Vivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Vivas will take a seat for the fifth time in eight games, with two of those absences coming against right-handed pitching. Oswald Peraza appears to have supplanted Vivas as the Yankees' preferred option at third base, and the latter could be at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the near future with Jazz Chisholm (oblique) close to a return from the injured list.

Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Slugs first homer in victory
Rotowire
Vivas went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in two plate appearances during Thursday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.
Vivas picked a good time for his first home run of the season, scoring the only run of the game off of Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi. Vivas also reached base on catcher's interference as part of a perfect day at the plate before being replaced by DJ LeMahieu in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old Vivas will look to use this game to get going offensively, as he is hitting just .182 through 36 plate appearances for the season.

Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Making spring debut
Rotowire
Vivas (shoulder) will start at second base and bat seventh in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Vivas will be making his spring debut Tuesday after a sore shoulder delayed his entry into the spring lineup. The 23-year-old infielder is a member of the Yankees' 40-man roster, but he has yet to make his big-league debut and is most likely to begin the 2025 season in an everyday role at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Dodgers' Jorbit Vivas: Doing it all at Double-A
Rotowire
Vivas is slashing .300/.404/.474 with 10 home runs, 13 steals and a 38:36 K:BB in 79 games for Double-A Tulsa.
The 22-year-old second baseman has been steady all season for the Drillers, and he could soon get a promotion to Triple-A. Vivas, who hits left-handed, has a 21.7 percent hard-hit rate and a 22.5 percent soft-hit rate, and he projects for below-average game power in the big leagues despite this strong showing in the Texas League.

Dodgers' Jorbit Vivas: Thriving in Double-A
Rotowire
Vivas is slashing .391/.473/.766 with four home runs, 10 doubles, a triple, 14 runs, 12 RBI and three stolen bases through 16 games with Double-A Tulsa.
Vivas hasn't generally ranked among the Dodgers' top 10 prospects to this point, but that could change if he continues to hit the way he is now. The 21-year-old has started his first stint at Double-A with a 16-game hitting streak, knocking multiple hits in eight of those contests. Vivas had already flashed a strong hit tool and a sharp eye at the plate coming into 2023, hitting .286 through his first three years in the minors and consistently posting strikeout rates in the low-to-mid-teens. He had topped out at 14 homers across 477 plate appearances in 2021 but is already well above that pace with four long balls this season.

Dodgers' Jorbit Vivas: Sent to minors camp
Rotowire
Vivas was optioned Monday to minor-league camp by the Dodgers.
