That winter, he pitched for his hometown Mayos de Navojoa, with a 2-2, 4.02 record and one save.

In 2016, he was with the GCL Astros (1-1, 2.29 in 6 G) and Greeneville Astros (Sv, 0 R in 7 IP). The next year, he was with Greeneville (1-0, 5.19 in 2 G) and the Tri-City ValleyCats (1-2, 4.64 in 12 G), striking out 61 in 51 1/3 innings. He opened 2018 with Quad Cities (2-0, 4.05 in 3 G) then pitched briefly for Tri-City (0-1, 8.22 in 2 G) before being let go by Houston. Returning to Mexico, he pitched for the Diablos Rojos del Mexico (1-0, Sv, 4.26 in 18 G). In winter ball for the first time in three years, he was 1-0 with a 4.24 ERA in 15 outings for the Mayos.
