Rivera did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] He was assigned to the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers to begin the 2021 season, and batted .282/.337/.593 with a career-high 14 home runs and 40 RBI in 44 games.
On June 28, 2021, Rivera was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[4] He made his MLB debut that day as the starting third baseman against the Boston Red Sox, and logged his first career hit in the game as well, a single off of Sox starter Garrett Richards. He was placed on the injured list on June 30 with a left hamate break.[5]
