The Tampa Bay Rays selected Johnson with the 40th overall pick in the 2019 Major League Baseball draft. [6] [7] He received a signing bonus of $1.72 million and made his professional debut with the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Rays. [8] After pitching ten scoreless innings over five games, he was promoted to the Princeton Rays of the Rookie Advanced Appalachian League in August, with whom he finished the season, going 0–1 with a 5.14 ERA over seven innings. [9]

Johnson did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. [10] He was assigned to the Charleston RiverDogs of the Low-A East for the 2021 season. [11] He appeared in 23 games (making 16 starts), pitching to a 6–6 record, a 2.88 ERA, and 115 strikeouts over 93+2⁄3 innings. [12] [13] He was assigned to the Bowling Green Hot Rods of the High-A South Atlantic League to open the 2022 season. [14] In late May, he was placed on the injured list with forearm inflammation. [15] It was later announced that he had torn his ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow and would be undergoing Tommy John surgery. Over 27 innings prior to the injury, he posted a 3.00 ERA with 41 strikeouts. [16]

Baltimore Orioles

The Rays traded Johnson to the Baltimore Orioles in a three-team trade on August 1, 2022, in which the Rays acquired José Siri from the Houston Astros, the Astros acquired Trey Mancini from Baltimore and Jayden Murray from Tampa Bay, and the Orioles also acquired Chayce McDermott from the Astros. [17]

On November 15, 2022, the Orioles selected Johnson's contract and added him to the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. [18] Johnson was optioned to the Triple-A Norfolk Tides to begin the 2023 season. [19] He made rehab appearances for the rookie–level Florida Complex League Orioles, Single–A Delmarva Shorebirds, High–A Aberdeen IronBirds, and Double–A Bowie Baysox as he continued his recovery from surgery. Johnson was again optioned to Triple–A Norfolk to begin the 2024 season. [20] However, he instead began the campaign with Bowie, and compiled a 2.63 ERA with 61 strikeouts over 18 starts. [21]
