McDaniels was first acquired by the Angels by way of the Rule 5 Draft this past offseason.
The Rule 5 Draft is a way for players who have spent considerable time in the minor leagues — specifically a player signed at 18 years old or younger spending five seasons not yet promoted to a 40-man roster or signed 19 years old and older having spent four seasons in a team’s farm system — to be acquired and added to a 26-man roster of another team.
