Cody Poteet - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sent back to SWB The Yankees optioned Poteet to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Impact Poteet made one appearance during his three-day stint in the majors, giving up one earned run across 3.1 innings Wednesday against Baltimore. Rather than keeping him in the bullpen to finish the season, the Yankees will instead send him back out to the minors in favor of Will Warren, who will likely take over as New York's long reliever.

Sent back to SWB The Yankees optioned Poteet to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Impact Poteet made one appearance during his three-day stint in the majors, giving up one earned run across 3.1 innings Wednesday against Baltimore. Rather than keeping him in the bullpen to finish the regular season, the Yankees will instead send him back out to the minors in favor of Will Warren.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from minors The Yankees recalled Poteet from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Impact He'll rejoin the Yankees ahead of Wednesday's game against the Orioles and provide some length out of the bullpen behind Marcus Stroman, who will be thrust back into the rotation after the club's original scheduled starter, Nestor Cortes, landed on the injured list with a left elbow flexor strain. Poteet hasn't pitched for the Yankees since June 12, but he's back to full health after a two-month absence due to a tricep strain. He resumed pitching in the minors Aug. 20 and accrued a 2.29 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 19.2 innings over his final six appearances between Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Somerset before their seasons recently ended.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Joining MLB club in Bronx Poteet is expected to join the Yankees ahead of Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Impact With Nestor Cortes' (elbow) status up in the air, Poteet is a candidate to join the roster, although it's unclear whether he'll be recalled or join the taxi quad. Poteet has made four starts for the Yankees this season, collecting a 2.14 ERA and 13:7 K:BB over 21 innings.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Activated and optioned The Yankees activated Poteet (triceps) from the 60-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Impact Poteet is over the triceps injury that's kept him out since mid-June, but the Yankees have elected to keep him at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre where he had been on a rehab assignment. The 30-year-old has allowed four runs over 10.1 rehab innings with SWB.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Doing well through four rehab games Poteet (triceps) has posted a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB over 12 innings through four minor-league rehab appearances.

Impact Poteet's first three rehab outings came with Double-A Somerset before he transitioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for his most recent appearance Sept. 5. The righty reliever's longest outing thus far has been 3.2 frames, and Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has said that the team sees Poteet as a potential depth piece down the stretch. While Poteet appears to be sufficiently ramped up for a return, it's not yet clear when the Yankees plan to activate him.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for rehab assignment Poteet (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Poteet has been shelved since mid-June with a right triceps strain and is finally ready to test things out in a game setting. The right-hander figures to require a handful of rehab appearances and it's not clear whether the plan is to stretch him back out to start or prepare him for a bullpen role.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Hurls live batting-practice session Poteet (triceps) threw 25 pitches in live batting practice Saturday, per MLB.com.

Impact This was Poteet's second time throwing to hitters as he looks to return from a triceps injury that has sidelined him from game action since mid-June. The righty reliever is on the 60-day IL, and his earliest return date is Aug. 17. It might be a stretch for Poteet to be ready to be activated at that time, as he'll likely need to pitch in at least a couple minor-league contests prior to being activated. However, assuming he doesn't have any setbacks, a return to the Yankees by the end of August seems probable.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to 60-day IL The Yankees transferred Poteet (triceps) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Impact A right tricep strain has kept Poteet on the injured list since mid-June, and his move to the 60-day injured list will ensure he remains out until at least Aug. 17. The 30-year-old righty began throwing bullpen sessions last week, though it remains unclear how close he is to facing live hitters and eventually beginning a rehab assignment. His spot on the 40-man roster will be given to Nick Burdi, who was reinstated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE

Throwing bullpen Thursday Poteet (tricep) said Wednesday that he will throw his second full bullpen session Thursday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Poteet had not been cleared to throw full bullpen sessions as of Monday, though he seems to have turned a corner in his rehab and is now slated to throw roughly 20-to-25 pitches in what will be his second mound session. The 29-year-old posted a 2.14 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through 21 innings over four starts prior to suffering a tricep strain in June, though it's possible the Yankees move him into their bullpen once he returns from the IL.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Not cleared for full side sessions Poteet (tricep) advanced to throwing lightly from the mound Friday but has yet to be cleared for full bullpen sessions, MLB.com reports.

Impact Though he isn't moving quickly through his throwing program after being cleared to start playing catch just over two weeks ago, Poteet has thus far avoided any setbacks with his right tricep strain and will take a meaningful step forward whenever he's eventually cleared for full bullpen sessions. Poteet made four starts for the Yankees before landing on the 15-day injured list June 18, but he'll likely have to settle for a bullpen role once he's activated, if New York doesn't choose to option him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Not cleared for full side sessions Poteet (tricep) threw lightly from a mound Friday but has yet to be cleared for full bullpen sessions, MLB.com reports.

Impact Though he isn't moving quickly through his throwing program after being cleared to start playing catch just over two weeks ago, Poteet has thus far avoided any setbacks with his right tricep strain. He made four starts for the Yankees before landing on the 15-day injured list June 18, but he'll likely have to settle for a bullpen role once he's activated, if New York doesn't choose to option him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre instead.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes throwing Poteet (triceps) has resumed his throwing program but has not yet progressed to throwing off a mound, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Poteet landed on the IL on June 18 due to a right triceps strain. It's an encouraging sign that the 29-year-old righty has gotten back to throwing, though he will likely remain without a clear return timeline until he's able to throw a few bullpen sessions. The return of Gerrit Cole also means there's no guarantee Poteet remains in the majors upon being activated.

Out with strained triceps The Yankees placed Poteet on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right triceps strain, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Poteet will be shut down from throwing for 1-to-2 weeks before being re-evaluated. He's fared well in four starts with the Yankees this season, posting a 2.14 ERA and 13:7 K:BB over 21 innings. However, with Gerrit Cole (elbow) due back this week, Poteet's future role was looking uncertain.
