Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Heads to bench Sunday
Emmanuel Rivera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.Rivera had started in each of the Baltimore 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.
