Returning to action in 2010 after a ten-month recovery, Kontos shifted into a relief pitcher. That season, he pitched for Tampa, Trenton, and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. After the 2010 season, the Yankees opted not to protect Kontos on their 40-man roster. Consequently, he was selected by the San Diego Padres from the Yankees in the Rule 5 draft that offseason.
