Alfonso Rivas III News
The St. Louis Cardinals have claimed first baseman/outfielder Alfonso Rivas off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels. The 27-year-old was designated for assignment last week after the club's signing of reliever Robert Stephenson became official. Rivas appeared in 48 big-league contests between the Padres and Pirates in 2023 and hit .229 with three home runs, one stolen base, and a .725 OPS across 123 trips to the plate. He also raked to the tune of a .332 average with nine HR, eight SB, and a 1.044 OPS across 58 games at Triple-A El Paso in the Padres organization. He is a career .243 hitter with seven HR, seven SB, and a .673 OPS in the big leagues with the Cubs, Padres, and Pirates.
The Los Angeles Angels have designated first baseman/outfielder Alfonso Rivas for assignment. The move was made after the Angels made the signing of reliever Robert Stephenson official on Wednesday. Unfortunately, it's been a busy offseason transaction-wise for Rivas as he was cut loose but the Pirates following the 2023 season before being picked up by the Guardians. He was then designated for assignment by Cleveland and scooped up by the Angels but will now be looking for his next organization. The 27-year-old hit .229 with three home runs and one stolen base across 123 plate appearances between the Padres and Pirates in 2023. He is a lifetime .243 hitter with seven HR and seven SB across 459 trips to the plate, also spending time with the Cubs in the 2021 and 2022 campaigns.
The Cleveland Guardians claimed first baseman/outfielder Alfonso Rivas off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. Rivas started the 2023 season with the San Diego Padres before ending in Pittsburgh. In 48 combined games (40 with the Bucs), Rivas slashed .229/.303/.422 with three home runs, 10 doubles, a triple, 15 RBI, one stolen base and eight runs scored in 123 plate appearances. The 27-year-old left-handed swinger will compete for a roster spot in spring training before the 2024 season as a backup option to starting first baseman Josh Naylor. Rivas has a career .243 batting average with seven home runs, 43 RBI and seven stolen bases in 167 games over three years in the majors.
