Rivera, 26, is batting .237 with six home runs and 22 RBIs this season. He is in his second season in the big leagues.
Weaver, 28, has a 7.71 ERA in 12 appearances this season. In his seven MLB seasons, he has played for the Cardinals and Diamondbacks.
Both teams aren’t contending, but the trade will give both players a change of scenery and a chance to develop further.
