He began 2015 with the RailRiders and was 1-1, 1.75 in 26 games when he was called up to the Big Apple on June 21st. He made his big league debut against the Detroit Tigers the same day but was hit hard, giving up 4 runs on 3 hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning; one of the hits was J.D. Martinez's third homer of the game. The Atlanta Braves claimed him in August and he made 12 appearances out of their bullpen, with a 3.65 ERA in 12 1/3 innings.
