Yadiel Rivera starting at second for Brewers against Cubs

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Yadiel Rivera is starting at second base on Thursday afternoon against the Chicago Cubs.

What It Means:

Rivera should get regular playing time at second while Scooter Gennett recovers from an oblique strain. The 23-year-old hit well in last year's Arizona Fall League and carried that over into Cactus League play.

Rivera is 5-for-23 (.217/.250/.348) with a .446 wOBA to open the 2016 season.
