Garrett McDaniels: Everything you need to know

McDaniels cleared waivers Saturday and was returned to the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. McDaniels turned in a 5.91 ERA and 1.97 WHIP across 10.2 innings before a biceps injury sent him to the IL in May. He was DFA'd by the Angels upon being activated Monday and will now return to the organization he began his professional career with. He will most likely report to Triple-A Oklahoma City and serve as bullpen depth.

The Angels activated McDaniels (biceps) from the 15-day injured list and designated him for assignment Monday. McDaniels is over the biceps injury that sent him to the IL in early May, but the Angels have decided not to add him back to their active roster. The Rule 5 pick will be available for other teams to claim via waivers, but if he clears he must be offered back to the Dodgers for $50,000.

McDaniels (biceps) was sent to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday to continue his rehab assignment. McDaniels made three appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, allowing two runs (one earned) with a 7:3 K:BB over 4.1 frames. The lefty reliever has been out for more than a month with biceps tendinitis, but his activation from the 15-day injured list should come soon.
