Teams had to add players to the roster by 5:00 p.m. Central time today to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft. This is the first year each of these players was eligible for the Rule 5 Draft.
Winn, White and Ornelas were the first, second and third round picks of the Rangers in the 2018 Draft, while Acuna was a J-2 signee in 2018.
