Rivas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.
With a lefty (Jose Quintana) on the mound for Pittsburgh as the two teams close out their series with a day game after a night game, the lefty-hitting Rivas will give way to P.J. Higgins at first base. Following Frank Schwindel's (back) recent placement on the 10-day injured list, Rivas should have a temporary hold on the primary job at first base. Rivas likely solidified his spot atop the temporary depth chart by going 2-for-4 with a grand slam and an additional run and RBI in Wednesday's 14-5 win.
