Rule 5 Draft weirdness

So, when a player is chosen in the Rule 5 draft, they supposedly have to spend the whole season on the active roster or DL. However, I have noticed numerous Rule 5 picks ending up in the minors. In fact, if a guy is injured when he is chosen in the Rule 5 draft, he goes right to AAA - not the DL.

Has anyone else noticed this?
