Over 25 games (18 starts) with both teams, he went 10-1 with a 2.59 ERA and 106 strikeouts.[6] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] He began the 2021 season with the Rocket City Trash Pandas of the Double-A South and was promoted to the Salt Lake Bees of the Triple-A West in early August.[8]
