Rumbelow made his professional debut with the Staten Island Yankees of the Class A-Short Season New York-Penn League. He started 2014 with the Charleston RiverDogs of the Class A South Atlantic League and was promoted to the Tampa Yankees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League, Trenton Thunder of the Double-A Eastern League, and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders of the Triple-A International League during the season.[6][7] In total for the season, he was 5–2 with a 2.62 ERA and eight saves in 42 games consisting of 58+1⁄3 innings pitched.

Rumbelow was a non-roster invitee to spring training in 2015.[8] After starting the season with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Rumbelow was promoted to the major leagues on June 22.[9] He made his major league debut the next day, allowing one run in a blowout loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.[10] He appeared in four games and was optioned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on July 8.[11] Rumbelow received several promotions to the major leagues and demotions to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.[12] He compiled a 1–1 record and 4.02 ERA in 15+2⁄3 innings pitched for the Yankees in 2015.[13]

Rumbelow began the 2016 season with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He injured his elbow during his first game of the season. The team announced that Rumbelow would undergo Tommy John surgery, forcing him to miss the remainder of the 2016 season.[14] Rumbelow was designated for assignment by the Yankees after the 2016 season and released to days later.[15][16] He re-signed with the Yankees in January 2017 to rehab the injury.[17] Rumbelow returned to Double-A in June and was back in Scranton by July 2017.[18][19] He pitched to a 5–1 record with a 1.12 ERA in 17 games. The Yankees re-added Rumbelow to their 40-man roster after the end of the season.[20]
