Professional career
Texas Rangers
Méndez signed with the Texas Rangers as an international free agent on June 1, 2012 out of Venezuela for $1.5 million. Méndez made his professional debut in 2012 with the Dominican Summer League Rangers, posting a 2–1 record with a 1.99 ERA in 45+1⁄3 innings. In 2013 he made his stateside debut with the Low–A Spokane Indians, posting a 1–2 record with a 3.78 ERA in 33+1⁄3 innings. Méndez split the 2014 season between the rookie–level Arizona League Rangers and Single–A Hickory Crawdads, posting a combined 3–1 record with a 2.70 ERA in 36+2⁄3 innings. Méndez spent the entire 2015 season with the Hickory Crawdads, posting a 3–3 with a 2.44 ERA in 66+1⁄3 innings. On November 20, 2015, the Rangers added him to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. Méndez split the 2016 minor league season between the High–A High Desert Mavericks, Double–A Frisco RoughRiders, and Triple–A Round Rock Express. He posted a combined 12–3 record with a 2.19 ERA in 111 innings. After the trade deadline of the 2016 season, Mendez became the team's no. 2 prospect after the Rangers dealt Luis Ortiz and Lewis Brinson to the Brewers for catcher Jonathan Lucroy.
