Cody

Poteet

Poteet was recalled earlier in the week with Nestor Cortes going on the injured list. Now he’s headed back to the minors to make room for Will Warren as a fresh arm for the bullpen.

Poteet takes the roster spot of Nestor Cortes with Cortes on the IL with a flexor strain. Poteet provides the ability to work multiple innings out of the bullpen.

This doesn’t seem good. Cortes has yet to be scratched from tonight’s start, but we’re assuming that’s on the way. Cody Poteet reportedly has joined the Yankees and could be activated. Marcus Stroman hasn’t pitched in eight days, so he can provide innings tonight. Clayton Beeter also hasn’t pitched since being called up.

The Yankees needed a 40-man roster spot with Poteet coming off the 60-day injured list and designated Ron Marinaccio for assignment. Poteet was 3-0 with a 2.14 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 13 strikeouts in 21 innings this year. He’s been out since mid-June with a triceps injury.

Poteet’s 30-day rehab assignment is about to conclude, so the Yankees need to decide whether to activate him, probably at Tim Mayza’s expense, or send him down. Poteet has allowed four runs and struck out 11 over 10 1/3 innings in three outings for the RailRiders. Before that, he gave up one run with an 11/1 K/BB in 9 1/3 innings for Double-A Somerset.

Poteet has been out since mid-June recovering from a triceps strain and figures to be an option for New York in a multi-inning relief role down the home stretch.

Poteet, who has pitched well in four spot starts this season for New York, has been on the shelf since mid-June due to a right triceps strain and figures to be an option in long relief for New York at some point in early September.

Poteet is aiming to return to minor league game action at some point in the coming days and should be an option for the Yankees by the end of the month. The 30-year-old righty has been out since mid-June recovering from a triceps strain.

The procedural move opens up a spot on New York’s 40-man roster for Nick Burdi. The 30-year-old righty has been on the shelf since mid-June recovering from a right triceps strain.

The 29-year-old hurler expects to advance to a full bullpen session soon as he continues his recovery from a right triceps strain. Prior to landing on the injured list on June 18, Poteet had posted a stellar 2.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and a 13/7 K/BB ratio over 21 innings in four starts with the big-league club.
