Webster Rivas - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Outrighted off roster Rivas cleared waivers Friday and was outrighted to Triple-A El Paso.

Impact Rivas filled in occasionally this season when the Padres needed an extra catcher. His .221/.303/.338 slash line in 24 games was adequate enough for a depth option behind the plate but wasn't good enough that the Padres felt they had to keep him on the 40-man roster.

Recalled Friday Rivas was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

Impact With a thumb strain ending Austin Nola's season, Rivas will rejoin the big-league roster to lend a hand with the catching duties during the closing stretch of the season. Rivas played in 21 games for the Padres earlier this season, hitting .220/.303/.356 with two homers and four RBI across 67 plate appearances.

Sent down Thursday Rivas was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Impact Rivas had served in a depth role behind the dish recently, and he hit .222 with a homer, four runs, three RBI and eight strikeouts in 10 games since July 1. He'll now head back to the minors after Austin Nola (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Swats second home run Rivas went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and a strikeout in Sunday's 11-1 win over the Phillies.

Impact Rivas has had limited playing time behind Victor Caratini recently, but he hit his first home run since May 30 to extend the Padres' lead in Sunday's blowout victory. The 29-year-old has hit .205 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs across 14 appearances this year, and he should continue to serve as the backup catcher until Austin Nola (knee) is cleared to return.
