After having shoulder surgery in October 2006, he was released by the team on November 22. He has then made a comeback with the D-Rays, being put on the 60 day DL. His season has compiled of two rehab starts with the Hudson Valley Renegades, Tampa's single A short season affiliate. His rehab starts were against the Staten Island Yankees, the New York Yankees affiliate, and the Brooklyn Cyclones, the New York Mets affiliate. He has compiled a 1-1 record giving up three runs in the two rehab starts.[1]

During the 2007 offseason, he was signed to a minor league contract by the Florida Marlins. After spring training, he was assigned to the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes. His contract was purchased on April 18, 2008, and he was promoted to the Marlins as a relief pitcher.
