On February 2, 2016, Maya signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Angels.
The Braves released Maya in July 2014, and he signed with the Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization, replacing Chris Volstad in their starting rotation. Maya pitched to a 2-4 record and a 4.86 ERA in 11 games started for the Bears, who brought him back for the 2015 season. He threw a no-hitter on April 9, 2015. However, his final ERA of 8.17 caused his release from the team.

On May 29, 2011, Maya was recalled by the Washington Nationals to take the rotation spot of Tom Gorzelanny, who was placed on the disabled list.

In Summer 2009, Maya was expelled from the Cuban national baseball team; the official newspaper Granma referred to "grave problems of indiscipline", presumably following a failed attempt to leave the country without permission. In September 2009, Maya successfully fled Cuba. After living in the Dominican Republic for about nine months, the United States Department of Treasury authorized Maya to sign with a Major League Baseball team.
In the 2008–2009 Cuban National Series Season Maya finished with a 13–4 record and seven complete games, and finished second amongst League Leaders in ERA with 2.22 ERA.

On this performance, Maya won Cuba's equivalent of the Cy Young Award. During six Cuban National Series seasons, Maya accumulated a record of 48–29 and an ERA of 2.51.
Maya led the Cuban National Series with a 1.61 earned run average (ERA) in 2004–05, and followed that up with a 7–9 record and a 3.79 ERA in 2005–06.
