82+2⁄3 innings pitched.

Stauffer was the Padres Opening Day pitcher in 2011 and was a mainstay of the rotation. He started 31 games and finished the season with a 9–12 record and 3.73 ERA, with 128 strike-outs versus 58 walks over 185+2⁄3 innings.

In early 2012, Stauffer and the Padres agreed on a one-year $3.2 million contract to avoid arbitration. [9] Stauffer was again the planned Opening Day starter, but he suffered an elbow strain in spring training and went on the disabled list. He only made a single start in May before going back on the DL. In August, he had surgery on the flexor tendon in his right elbow. After the season, the Padres did not tender an offer to Stauffer, and he elected for free agency after clearing waivers. [11]

On January 29, 2013, Stauffer re-signed with the Padres on a minor league deal. [12] After going 2–2 with a 3.16 ERA in Triple A, Stauffer's contract was selected, and he was called up to the Majors on May 17, 2013. [13] Stauffer settled into a long relief role with the Padres bullpen, [14] pitching multiple innings in 22 of his 43 relief appearances. He finished the 2013 season with a 3–1 record and 3.75 ERA, recording 64 strike-outs in 69+2⁄3 innings.

Stauffer signed a new one-year, $1.6 million deal with San Diego on December 2, 2013, avoiding arbitration. [15] Stauffer again primarily worked out of the pen as long reliever, making three starts in late May and early June after Robbie Erlin went to the disabled list. [16] He finished the 2014 season with an overall 3.50 ERA, and a 2.56 ERA as a reliever, striking out 67 in 64+1⁄3 innings.

Minnesota Twins

On December 23, 2014, Stauffer signed a one-year $2.2 million contract with the Minnesota Twins. [17] On May 1, Stauffer landed on the disabled list with a strained right intercostal muscle. [18] He was designated for assignment on June 11, 2015, and released on June 17. [19]

Sugar Land Skeeters

On July 14, 2015, Stauffer signed with the Sugar Land Skeeters of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. [20] He made 3 starts for Sugar Land, posting a 1-1 record and 1.69 ERA with 10 strikeouts over 16 innings.

New York Mets

On July 31, 2015, Stauffer signed a minor league contract with the New York Mets. Stauffer pitched for the Las Vegas 51s of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League, [21] and was promoted to the major leagues on September 8. [22] Stauffer was designated for assignment by the Mets on October 12, 2015, thus making him a free agent to make room for Matt Reynolds on the 40-man roster. [23] Stauffer had a 7.94 ERA in five appearances for the Mets.

Arizona Diamondbacks

On December 23, 2015, Stauffer agreed to a minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was released on March 28, 2016.
