Diamondbacks' Emmanuel Rivera: Scratched from Saturday's lineup

Rivera was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Giants due to mild soreness in his left forearm.

Rivera was slated to start at third base Saturday but was removed from the lineup less than an hour before the start of the game. Although his forearm soreness is described as mild, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench or whether he'll be able to return for Sunday's series finale. Buddy Kennedy will take over at the hot corner and bat sixth Saturday.
