Prior to playing professional baseball, Denker attended Brea Olinda High School.
Originally drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 21st round of the 2003 Major League Baseball draft, Denker signed and started his professional career that very same year. He split time between the South Georgia Waves and Gulf Coast League Dodgers, combining to hit .264 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 46 games.

He spent most of the 2007 season with the Inland Empire 66ers until the Dodgers traded him to the Giants on August 25, 2007, as the PTBNL from a trade for Mark Sweeney on August 9, 2007. Denker finished the season playing for the Giants High-A affiliate, the San Jose Giants and helped lead them to the California League championship. For the year, Denker hit .300 with 11 home runs and 66 RBI in 118 games.
Denker was called up on May 12, 2008, and got his first major league hit against the Florida Marlins on May 25, 2008, which was a double down the third base line. He hit his first home run against Scott Schoeneweis of the New York Mets on June 3, 2008.
After spending the rest of the 2008 season in the minor leagues, Denker was claimed off waivers by the San Diego Padres. He appeared in only one game for the Double–A San Antonio Missions.
On April 14, 2009, the Boston Red Sox claimed Denker off waivers from the Padres. He appeared in 117 games for the Pawtucket Red Sox, hitting .238.
