Rivera had a .258/.297/.345 slash line with 7 home runs and 57 RBI in 131 games with the Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals in 2019.

Because the minor league season was canceled due to the COVID-19 epidemic, Rivera did not play in any games in 2020.

To begin the 2021 season, he was assigned to the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers, where he batted .282/.337/.593 in 44 games, with a career-high 14 home runs and 40 RBI.

Rivera was promoted to the major leagues for the first time on June 28, 2021, when he was named to the 40-man roster.

That day, he made his Major League Baseball debut as the starting third baseman against the Boston Red Sox, and he also got his first professional hit, a single off Sox starter Garrett Richards.

On June 30, he was placed on the injured list due to a left hamate break.
