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