The Angels outrighted Rivero to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
The Angels are doing some 40-man roster housekeeping, and Rivero will lose his spot. He has the ability to reject the outright assignment and become a free agent, a move Rivero seems likely to make.

Rivero (hand) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.
Rivero was sidelined for over two months after suffering a left hamate fracture June 10, but he has now officially ready for action. The catcher has posted a .245 average with two doubles, eight RBI and five runs scored over 53 at-bats in 24 contests with the Angels this season, and he could return to the major-league roster before the end of the year.

Rivero (hand) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
Rivero suffered a left hamate fracture June 10 and has experienced some setbacks in his recovery after initially beginning a rehab assignment last month. The 27-year-old backstop has slashed .245/.286/.283 with a pair of doubles, eight RBI, five runs scored and a 3:12 BB:K across 57 plate appearances with the Halos this season.

The Angels transferred Rivero (hand) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Rivero was pulled from his rehab assignment Monday after suffering a setback with his hand injury. He's been on the injured list since mid-June, so even though he's been shifted to the 60-day IL, he still could be back with the Angels before the end of the 2026 season. The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Michael Fulmer, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Rivero (hand) was returned from his rehab assignment Monday after suffering a setback, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Bollinger notes that Rivero's hand wasn't responding as well as the team had hoped while out on his rehab assignment. He'll likely be shut down for at least the next few days before being re-evaluated. Rivero has been on the shelf since June 10 after suffering a left hamate fracture.

Rivero (hand) was returned from his rehab assignment Monday.
Rivero appeared in five minor-league games as part of his rehab assignment, going 1-for-14 in that span. It's unclear whether he's suffered a setback or is ready to return to action. If he's cleared to be taken off the IL, then Rivero would likely be optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake, given that the Angels carry three catchers on the 26-man roster in Tyler Heineman, Travis d'Arnaud and Moises Ballesteros.
