Mariners' Leo Rivas: Swipes base as pinch runner
Leonardo Rivas entered Monday's loss to the Athletics as a pinch runner in the top of the eighth inning and recorded a stolen base.Rivas swiped third on Dylan Moore's swinging strikeout, but he was left stranded 90 feet away from home plate when Mitch Haniger also went down on strikes to close out the frame. Rivas was out of the starting nine for the fourth time in the five games since J.P. Crawford's activation from the injured list, and although the latter is struggling at the plate, Rivas figures to continue seeing only intermittent playing time for the foreseeable future.

Mariners' Leo Rivas: Sitting in Crawford's return
Leonardo 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 Seattle Mariners want to open up regular at-bats for him.

Mariners' Leo Rivas: Garnering sixth straight start
Leonardo Rivas will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Giants.Rivas will stick in the lineup for the sixth game in a row after after producing seven hits and drawing a walk over his last five starts. He seems to have displaced Dylan Moore as the Seattle Mariners' preferred option at shortstop at the moment, but Rivas' run of regular playing time will likely come to an end soon. J.P. Crawford (finger) kicked off a rehab assignment Saturday and should be ready to return from the injured list later this week to reclaim everyday duties at shortstop.

Mariners' Leo Rivas: Delivers in clutch Friday
Leonardo Rivas went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles in an extra-inning win over the Giants on Friday.Rivas played an integral part in locking in a victory for Dan Wilson in his managerial debut, rapping out his first RBI single in the eighth as part of a four-run, game-tying rally. Rivas then delivered in an even higher-leverage scenario two frames later, knocking in pinch runner Dylan Moore from third base in the 10th with the walk-off knock. The bottom-of-the-order shortstop has been contributing consistently despite his unfavorable lineup position, with Friday's performance being his fourth consecutive two-hit effort. Rivas doesn't offer much in the way of power, but his recent knack for consistent contact has led to him generating a .288 average and .362 on-base percentage across his first 59 big-league plate appearances.

Mariners' Leo Rivas: Productive out No. 9 spot
Leonardo Rivas went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and two runs in a win over the Pirates on Sunday.Rivas once again provided useful contributions out of the bottom of the order, and he maximized both of his trips on the basepaths by eventually crossing the plate each time. The rookie infielder, who continues to see regular playing time at shortstop in the absence of J.P. Crawford (finger), has reached safely in six of his last seven games, a span in which he owns a .400 OBP thanks in part to a 15.4 percent walk rate.

Mariners' Leo Rivas: Two steals in win
Leonardo Rivas went 1-for-3 with two RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Friday's 6-0 win over the Mets.Rivas delivered a two-run single in the seventh inning to give the Seattle Mariners some breathing room. The rookie infielder hasn't gotten much playing time since getting called up in late July, going 3-for-17 with three RBI, two steals and three runs scored over 10 contests. He's batting .217 over 23 plate appearances this year, though the speedster has 24 steals over 63 games at Triple-A Tacoma. Rivas appears to be a short-side platoon option at shortstop when Dylan Moore shifts over to third base.
