Professional career

He signed with the Dodgers as an amateur free agent in 2009 and spent one season with the Dominican Summer League Dodgers before joining the domestic leagues with the Arizona League Dodgers in 2010 and Ogden Raptors in 2011. In 2012, he had a 3.02 ERA in 40 games with the Great Lakes Loons, including 14 saves. In a late season promotion to the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes he had a 2.53 ERA in 9 games. In 2013 he was 4-6 with a 2.54 ERA and 19 saves in 49 games with the AA Chattanooga Lookouts.

The Dodgers added him to the 40-man roster on November 20, 2013 and promoted him to the AAA Albuquerque Isotopes. In 47 games for the Isotopes, he was 4-2 with a 3.10 ERA. He was called up to the Dodgers on September 1, 2014. He made his debut that night, in the eighth inning, against the Washington Nationals. He gave up a hit to the first batter he faced, Bryce Harper, and logged his first strikeout in the Major Leagues, working 2 innings and not giving up any runs. He pitched in eight games for the Dodgers, allowing only two earned runs in 10 innings. He also struck out nine batters while walking only one. Both of the runs he allowed were on solo homers (by Brandon Barnes and Michael McKenry, both of the Rockies).

In 2015, he appeared in 59 games for the Dodgers (and also made one start) and was 3–5 with a 3.34 ERA. He appeared in just nine games the following season, pitching 8 1⁄3 innings with a 3.24 ERA. He was shutdown on April 22 with right biceps soreness and experienced a setback on his rehab assignment on July 29, ending his season. He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in September and then on October 25 he underwent Tommy John surgery.

He is 6'1 and 220 pounds.
