He was promoted to the Double-A Trenton Thunder, where he was named Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for the week of 7 June 2010.[6] and the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees.[7] Noesí participated in the 2010 All-Star Futures Game.[8]
On 13 April 2011, Noesí was called up to the major leagues for the first time in his career, replacing relief pitcher Luis Ayala, who the Yankees put on the disabled list.[9] He was optioned to Triple-A on 22 April without having made his major league debut.[10]
Noesí made his major league debut on 18 May 2011, pitching four scoreless innings of relief and earning the win in an extra-innings game against the Baltimore Orioles. He made his first MLB start on 21 September 2011.[11]
Seattle Mariners
During the 2011–12 offseason, the Yankees traded Noesí to the Seattle Mariners along with Jesús Montero for Michael Pineda and minor league pitcher José Campos.[12] [13] Noesí performed poorly in the first half of the 2012 season, going 2–11 with a 5.77 ERA. He was demoted to Triple A's Tacoma Rainiers on 4 July 2012.[14] Noesí was recalled on 4 September when rosters expanded.[15]
He spent most of 2013 season shuttling back and forth between Seattle and Triple-A.[16] On 4 April 2014, Noesi was designated for assignment by the Mariners.[17]
