Rivas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Rivas had started each of the last seven games at shortstop while batting .348 and getting on base at a .400 clip, but his playing time is likely to dwindle after top shortstop J.P. Crawford (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. At least for the time being, Rivas will stick around as a backup middle infielder, but he could be a candidate to return to Triple-A Tacoma if the Mariners want to open up regular at-bats for him.
