Professional career
Washington Nationals
León signed with the Washington Nationals on January 17, 2007,[1] and made his professional debut with the Gulf Coast Nationals later that year. He spent two years in the Gulf Coast League before splitting the 2009 season between the Vermont Lake Monsters of the New York–Penn League and the South Atlantic League's Hagerstown Suns. León returned to the Suns for the 2010 season and was promoted to the Potomac Nationals in 2011. He spent time with the Auburn Doubledays, Harrisburg Senators, and Syracuse Chiefs in 2012 before his first major league callup.
León was called up to the majors for the first time on May 13, 2012.[2] He made his Major League debut on May 14, 2012. In the fourth inning of his debut, León seriously sprained his right ankle, after a collision with Padres' third baseman Chase Headley at home plate.[3]

León was traded to the Boston Red Sox for cash considerations on March 30, 2015.[4] He was designated for assignment on July 21, 2015. On July 30, 2015 he was sent down to the Pawtucket Red Sox. He was re-added to the roster on September 1.
