Rivera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Rivera's absence is his fourth in Miami's past six games, with both of his starts during that stretch coming against left-handed pitchers. Jake Burger is receiving more run at third base and Jesus Sanchez at designated hitter, which has opened up right field for Derek Hill, though the latter two have swapped those positions Sunday.
