Scouting Report: Leonardo Rivas
Seattle Mariners | 2B
Overall
Summary
Leonardo Rivas, 28-year-old utility infielder for the Seattle Mariners, has been optioned to Triple-A Tacoma after struggling significantly at the plate in 2026. Initially serving as the primary third baseman while Brendan Donovan was injured, Rivas provided minimal offensive production. He was batting .131/.263/.172 with no home runs, 2 stolen bases, 7 RBIs, and 8 runs over 112 plate appearances (38 games). His performance ranked in the bottom 1% of the league in xwOBA, xBA, and xSLG. With Donovan's return and Colt Emerson's promotion, the Mariners no longer needed Rivas' defensive flexibility and opted to send him down to develop at the minor league level.
