Elias defected from Cuba in 2010, hoping to sign a contract with a Major League Baseball team.[2] He signed a minor league contract with the Seattle Mariners on May 3, 2011.[3] He made his debut that season and pitched in games for the Pulaski Mariners, Arizona League Mariners and Clinton LumberKings. Overall he went 5–2 with a 4.28 earned run average (ERA) and 41 strikeouts over 48 1⁄3 innings pitched.
In 2012 he played for the High Desert Mavericks. He started 26 games, finishing with an 11–6 record, 3.76 ERA, 128 strikeouts over 148 1⁄3 innings pitched. He played the 2013 season with the Jackson Generals. He started 22 games, had a 6–11 record and 121 strikeouts over 130 innings.
Invited to Spring Training by the Mariners in 2014, Elias competed for a rotation spot on the Mariners' opening day roster,[4][5] making the team as one of the starting pitchers.[6][7] Elias made his Major League debut April 3, 2014.[8] Against the Detroit Tigers on June 1, Elias recorded the team's first shutout by a rookie since Freddy García in 1999.[9]
