Leo Rivas Battling Ankle Injury
Seattle Mariners infielder Leo Rivas (ankle) was seen limping during Tuesday's practice session and is viewed as a day-to-day. The team is optimistic the infielder will only miss a few days of practice. Rivas sustained this injury when doing infield drills. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he will likely compete for a depth role on the Opening Day roster. Last season, the 27-year-old made his big league debut and posted a .233/.333/.274 line across 43 contests. He showed a strong eye at the plate as he drew walks at an elite 11.6 percent rate. Earlier in the season, Rivas posted a strong .296/.441/.424 slash line across 63 games at Triple-A. He held an elite 55:51 BB:K ratio and added 24 swiped bags. When cleared to return, he will likely slot in as the No. 2 option behind Dylan Moore at the keystone.
