The Rangers won 3-2 in 11 innings.[4] He was optioned back to the minor leagues by Detroit on April 26, 2012, after making two appearances.[5] In August 2012, Weber was signed by the San Diego Padres.[6]

The Padres designated Weber for assignment on May 17, 2013.[7] On May 19, the Toronto Blue Jays claimed Weber off waivers, and optioned him to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.[8] Weber was recalled by the Blue Jays on May 25.[9] Weber was optioned back to the Buffalo Bisons by the Blue Jays on May 28.[10] He was recalled on June 9, and then returned to Buffalo after that day's game. On August 13, Weber was recalled again by the Blue Jays to replace Josh Johnson, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list.[11] Weber was optioned back to Buffalo on August 19, but was expected to be activated as the 26th player for the doubleheader against the New York Yankees on August 20.

On December 11, 2013, he was released by the Blue Jays and signed with the NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization.[12]

On January 20, 2015, the Detroit Tigers signed Weber to a minor-league contract.[13] During the 2015 season, Weber started 27 games for the Toledo Mud Hens and had a 6–10 record with a 4.19 ERA and 105 strikeouts.
