Yankees' Cody Poteet: Summoned from minors
The New York Yankees recalled Cody 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.

Poteet has made four starts for the Yankees this season, collecting a 2.14 ERA and 13:7 K:BB over 21 innings.

Yankees' Cody Poteet: Hurls live batting-practice session
Cody Poteet (tricep) threw 25 pitches in a live batting practice session Saturday, MLB.com reports.Poteet has now faced hitters on two occasions as he looks to return from the right tricep strain that has kept him on the shelf since mid-June. The righty reliever is on the 60-day injured list and is eligible to be activated Aug. 17, but he's likely tracking toward a return at some point after that, as he'll need to pitch in at least a couple minor-league contests beforehand. Assuming he doesn't have any setbacks, a return to the New York Yankees by the end of August seems probable, but he'll likely have to settle for a bullpen role after previously starting in all four of his appearances for the big club.

Cody Poteet (tricep) threw lightly from a mound Friday but has yet to be cleared for full bullpen sessions, MLB.com reports.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.
