Thirteen players, mostly right-handed pitchers, were selected in the Major League phase of the 2025 Rule 5 Draft held Wednesday in Orlando, Florida. The Colorado Rockies led off by taking reliever RJ Petit from the Detroit Tigers, while the Chicago White Sox made two picks. Only one position player, catcher Daniel Susac, was chosen before being traded to the San Francisco Giants.
The New York Yankees designated right-hander Cade Winquest for assignment on Friday without him ever pitching in a major league game. The 25-year-old, selected from the St. Louis Cardinals in the Rule 5 Draft last December, had made the Opening Day roster. The move cleared a spot to activate Luis Gil for a start against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Texas Rangers reliever Carter Baumler learned he had made the Opening Day roster during a mound visit in the middle of an inning. Manager Skip Schumaker delivered the news after Baumler retired the first two batters in the fifth inning of Monday's 3-2 win over the Royals at Globe Life Field. The 24-year-old right-hander, acquired in the Rule 5 Draft, must remain on the roster all season.
