"Players selected in the Rule 5 draft cannot be optioned to the minors, meaning they must remain in the big leagues or on the injured list for the entire season."
"Daniel Susac made the Opening Day roster but didn't get his first start until last night, going three for three and drawing a walk in his debut."
"The Giants presumably felt pretty good about Susac's chances of sticking as a backup to Patrick Bailey after trading for him from the Twins."
The Rule 5 draft allows players blocked in their organizations to be selected by major league teams. Players must remain on the big league roster for the entire season unless injured. If not active for 90 days, the player's rights carry over. Daniel Susac, selected by the Giants, made a strong debut, going three for three in his first start. The Giants traded for him to secure his position as a backup catcher, indicating confidence in his abilities.
