The Orioles recalled Poteet from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
Poteet joined Baltimore via a trade with the Cubs in late March, and the veteran righty will now get a chance to debut with his new club. The right-hander has been used as both a reliever and a starter in his major-league career, and he started four of the five regular-season games in which he appeared with the Yankees last year, posting a 2.22 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB over 24.1 innings. Poteet had been working as a reliever in Norfolk, and he tossed three innings in his most recent outing April 17. He could provide bullpen depth while up with Baltimore.
