Rivas has officially made the Cubs' Opening Day roster.

Rivas will benefit from the expanded April rosters, as the Cubs will open the year with 14 hitters and 14 pitchers. The 25-year-old isn't a big prospect but hit .318/.388/.409 in his 18-game debut last season after slashing .284/.405/.411 for Triple-A Iowa. He doesn't have an obvious path to playing time but could make the occasional start at first base or the corner outfield.
