Noesí signed with the New York Yankees as an international free agent in 2004.[1] He made his professional debut in 2006 with the Gulf Coast Yankees. He was assigned to the Single–A Charleston RiverDogs in 2007, but was injured, necessitating Tommy John surgery.[2]

Healthy in 2009, Noesí pitched well for Charleston and the High–A Tampa Yankees.[3] He was named Pitcher of the Week for the week of 18 May and was a South Atlantic League Mid-Season All-Star.[4] Following the 2009 season, Noesí was added to the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[5]

Noesí began 2010 with Tampa, where he was named Pitcher of the Week for the week of 19 April and a Mid-Season All-Star. 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][4] 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, briefly becoming a phantom ballplayer[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.[11]

On 23 January 2012, the Yankees traded Noesí to the Seattle Mariners along with Jesús Montero in exchange 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 the Triple–A Tacoma Rainiers on 4 July.[14] Noesí was recalled on 4 September when rosters expanded.[15]

Noesí spent most of 2013 season shuttling back and forth between Seattle and Tacoma.[16] On 4 April 2014, Noesi was designated for assignment by the Mariners.[17]
