Poteet was returned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the Yankees on Saturday.
Poteet was up as the 27th man for a doubleheader versus the Guardians and dazzled as the starter of the second game, tossing six innings of one-run ball with four strikeouts. It was his first outing in the majors since July of 2022, and he surely earned another look down the line, but for now Poteet will rejoin the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre rotation.

Rotowire
The Yankees added Poteet to their roster to start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Cleveland.
Poteet has started two games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year, surrendering just two runs through 8.1 innings while posting a 12:2 K:BB. He will almost certainly return to Triple-A after his spot start Saturday.

Yankees' Cody Poteet: Making spot start Saturday
Rotowire
Poteet will be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader at Cleveland, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Saturday's contest was postponed due to inclement weather, which will afford Poteet the opportunity to make a spot start in Saturday's twin bill. The right-hander has pitched well in two starts for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season with two runs allowed and a 12:2 K:BB over 8.1 innings. Poteet should serve as the 27th player for the doubleheader, which likely means he'll promptly be sent back to Triple-A.

Rotowire
The Yankees optioned Poteet to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Poteet pitched well in camp with a 2.35 ERA and 7:1 K:BB over 7.2 innings and could fill a bullpen role later on for the Yankees if he gets off to a strong start at Triple-A.

Rotowire
Poteet was released by the Royals on Saturday.
Poteet signed a minor-league deal last winter after having Tommy John surgery and made it back for one late-season appearance with Triple-A Omaha. The Royals decided not to keep him through the offseason, so the 29-year-old righty will look for a new organization.

Marlins' Cody Poteet: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Poteet (elbow) was activated off the 60-day injured list and outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Poteet may no longer be on the injured list, but he won't be healthy any time soon, as he underwent Tommy John surgery in August and will likely miss the entire 2023 season. No team wanted to claim him and wait out his recovery, so he'll continue to rehab as a member of the Marlins organization.

It's not clear when Poteet will undergo the procedure, but this news rules him out for the rest of this season and could prevent him from pitching at all in 2023.

Marlins' Cody Poteet: Set to throw this weekend
Rotowire
Poteet (elbow) will start a throwing program this weekend, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Earlier this week he was cleared to play catch on flat ground, and it's unclear if that's what he'll be doing this weekend or if he will be throwing from a mound. Either way, Poteet may be brought along slowly given the nature of his elbow muscle injury.

Marlins' Cody Poteet: Resumes flat-ground work
Rotowire
Marlins manager Don Mattingly disclosed Monday that Poteet (elbow) has been cleared to play catch, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Poteet has been on the 15-day injured list since May 29 with a right elbow muscle injury and will likely need at least a couple more weeks to get stretched back out before the Marlins consider activating him. Whenever Poteet is ready to go, he may have to settle for a spot in the bullpen or in the Triple-A Jacksonville rotation if back-end starters Edward Cabrera and Braxton Garrett have performed well enough to maintain roles with the big club.

Marlins' Cody Poteet: Yet to start throwing
Rotowire
Poteet (elbow) has yet to resume a throwing program since he was placed on the 15-day injured list May 29, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Jesus Luzardo (forearm) also has yet to resume throwing since being placed on the IL on May 12, so the Marlins have been forced to dip into the minor-league well for reinforcement in their rotation. Edward Cabrera was called up from Triple- A Jacksonville last week to replace Poteet as the Marlins' fifth starter and will get his second turn through the rotation after shutting out the Rockies over six innings in his 2022 MLB debut. Cabrera should have a decent amount of leash in a starting role while neither Poteet nor Luzardo are close to returning.

Rotowire
Poteet (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks over three innings against the Rays. He struck out one.
Poteet was working on three days' rest after tossing two innings in relief during Saturday's matchup against Atlanta. The right-hander impressed during his first start in place of Jesus Luzardo (forearm), tossing 4.2 scoreless while striking out four.
