He chose to sign with the Dodgers, rescinding an agreement with the University of Southern Mississippi, where he had originally chosen to play college baseball.[2] Bird began his career with the Arizona League Dodgers in 2012 and then split 2013 between the Ogden Raptors of the Pioneer League and the Great Lakes Loons of the Midwest League.[3][4] He was 4–9 with a 5.38 ERA in 28 appearances (20 starts) between the two levels.

In 2015, the Braves invited Feigl to spring training, where he competed for a spot on the opening day roster.[17][20] Though he spent most of spring training in minor league camp, Feigl was viewed as having a good chance of making the team, due to the release of James Russell.[21][19] Feigl instead began the 2015 season with the Gwinnett Braves, where he injured his elbow in his Triple–A debut against the Durham Bulls on April 10.[22] Eleven days later, Feigl underwent Tommy John surgery, performed by James Andrews.[23]
