The San Francisco Giants selected him in the 16th round of the 2012 MLB draft,[4] and he signed with the Giants.

After the 2015 season, the Giants added Gardeck to their 40-man roster.[5]

At the 2018 Winter Meetings, the Tampa Bay Rays selected Gardeck from the Giants in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft.[6] He was assigned to Double-A Montgomery and placed on the injured list to start the 2019 season. He became a free agent following the 2019 season.[7]

After the 2019 season, Gardeck signed a minor league contract with the Oakland Athletics, receiving a non-roster invitation to spring training.[8]
