Poteet elected to free agency Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Poteet has decided to hit the free-agent market rather than accepting the Orioles' outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. The 31-year-old has missed much of the season with a shoulder injury but recently turned in two scoreless outings at Norfolk.

Orioles' Cody Poteet: Activated, outrighted to Norfolk
Rotowire
The Orioles reinstated Poteet (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday and sent him outright to Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Poteet surrendered five earned runs in 2.2 innings during his lone appearance of the season for the Orioles on April 20, and he landed on the injured list shortly afterward with right shoulder inflammation. Now fully healthy, he'll stay put in the minor leagues while also giving up his spot on the Orioles' 40-man roster. If he bounces back well at Norfolk, the 31-year-old righty may receive another look with Baltimore at some point in September.

Orioles' Cody Poteet: Kicking off rehab stint
Rotowire
Poteet (shoulder) is beginning a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Poteet has been on the shelf since late April due to right shoulder inflammation. He has made only one regular-season appearance this year, allowing five runs over 2.2 innings against Cincinnati on April 20. Poteet will presumably need to make several rehab outings given the length of his absence. He could be activated by the Orioles sometime in September if he doesn't experience any setbacks.

Orioles' Cody Poteet: Set to resume throwing next week
Rotowire
Poteet (shoulder) recently received an injection and is likely to start throwing in the next several days, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Poteet was placed on the injured list way back on April 22 due to right shoulder inflammation and was later shifted to the 60-day IL on May 30, and it sounds as though his recovery has progressed slowly. Given that he's just getting ready to resume throwing, the right-hander could require a lengthy throwing progression and minor-league rehab assignment before becoming an option to rejoin Baltimore's roster. Poteet is likely looking at a return sometime in August, if he can avoid any setbacks.

Orioles' Cody Poteet: Joining big-league club
Rotowire
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.

Orioles' Cody Poteet: Shipped to Baltimore
Rotowire
The Orioles acquired Poteet from the Cubs on Sunday in exchange for cash and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk.
Poteet was DFA'd by Chicago on Thursday but will reclaim a 40-man roster spot upon joining the Orioles. The 30-year-old righty made five appearances (four starts) for the Yankees last season, during which he posted a 2.22 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with a 16:8 K:BB across 24.1 innings. He'll begin his tenure with the O's in the minors, but the number of injuries in Baltimore's pitching staff keeps the door open for Poteet to make a spot start down the line.

Cubs' Cody Poteet: Cut from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Cubs designated Poteet for assignment Thursday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Cubs' Cody Poteet: Optioned to Iowa
Rotowire
The Cubs optioned Poteet to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.
Poteet struggled to find his footing this spring, giving up four earned runs over 3.1 innings. He'll head to Iowa to begin the 2025 campaign but is certainly capable of working his way back to the majors after turning in a 2.22 ERA over 24.1 regular-season frames with the Yankees last year.
Poteet is in line to start Thursday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers, Jordan Bastian and Sonja Chen of MLB.com report.
Poteet joined the Cubs back in December in the trade that sent Cody Bellinger to the Yankees. Poteet could be minor-league depth once the regular season begins, though with Chicago not using all of its regulars in Thursday's spring training opener, he will get the chance to take the mound. The veteran righty posted a 2.22 ERA and 16:8 K:BB across 24.1 innings for New York last year.
The Cubs acquired Poteet from the Yankees on Tuesday in exchange for Cody Bellinger and cash consideration, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Poteet, 30, made four starts and one relief appearance for the Yankees in 2024, collecting a 2.22 ERA and 16:8 K:BB across 24.1 innings. He could be used either as a starter or reliever, with the rotation at Triple-A Iowa perhaps being his most likely destination.

Yankees' Cody Poteet: Sent back to SWB
Rotowire
The Yankees optioned Poteet to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Poteet made one appearance during his three-day stint in the majors, giving up one earned run across 3.1 innings Wednesday against Baltimore. Rather than keeping him in the bullpen to finish the regular season, the Yankees will instead send him back out to the minors in favor of Will Warren.

Yankees' Cody Poteet: Summoned from minors
Rotowire
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.

Yankees' Cody Poteet: Joining MLB club in Bronx
Rotowire
Poteet is expected to join the Yankees and could be formally recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
Nestor Cortes had been scheduled to start Wednesday, but after being sent in for an MRI on his elbow, he now appears unlikely to be available. Poteet will be a candidate to pitch in some capacity Wednesday if he's recalled, though the Yankees could prefer to keep him on hand as a member of the taxi squad while they await more information on Cortes' injury. Poteet has made four starts for the Yankees this season, collecting a 2.14 ERA and 13:7 K:BB over 21 innings.
