Rivera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Rivera had started in each of the Orioles' last nine games while slashing .276/.333/.414 with one home run and two walks during that stretch, but he'll head to the bench for the series finale. With both Jordan Westburg (hand) and Ramon Urias (ankle) picking up starts in the infield in their returns from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Rivera could be at risk of falling into a part-time role during the final week of the season.
