The Athletics drafted him in the 26th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft. He was signed by scout Marc Sauer. He began his professional career that season with the AZL Athletics, appearing in 14 games (seven starts) and going 2-3 with a 4.44 ERA. He strained his UCL and missed the 2009 season.

Through his first 163 innings of work, he walked only 20 batters. During spring training in 2014, he made one appearance for the Athletics major league squad. He split the 2014 regular season between the Stockton Ports (6 G, 1.80 ERA) and Midland RockHounds (30 G, 3.23 ERA) and went a combined 5-4 with a 2.98 ERA in 36 games.
