Poteet elected to free agency Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Poteet surrendered five earned runs in 2.2 innings during his lone appearance of the season 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 place on the Orioles' 40-man roster. If he bounces back well at Norfolk, the 31-year-old righty may receive a chance to redeem himself in Baltimore during the final stretch.

Poteet (shoulder) is beginning a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Poteet (shoulder) recently received an injection and is likely to start throwing in the next several days, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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 doesn't sound like he's made much progress over this time. 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 could have a hard time being able to return before the end of July at this point.

The Orioles transferred Poteet (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been on the shelf since late April due to shoulder inflammation, and he'll remain sidelined for at least a few more weeks. Poteet surrendered five runs over 2.2 frames in his lone outing for Baltimore before landing on the injured list.

The Orioles placed Poteet on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Poteet was rocked for five runs while throwing 68 pitches over 2.2 innings in Sunday's blowout loss to the Reds and apparently came out of the appearance with a shoulder problem. It's not clear how long he might be sidelined.

The Orioles recalled Poteet from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

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. Poteet 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 since joining the Orioles' organization, and he tossed three innings in his most recent outing April 17. He could provide bullpen depth while up with Baltimore, as Kyle Gibson -- who is making his fourth minor-league start with High-A Aberdeen on Sunday -- is a candidate to be called up the next time Baltimore has an open spot in its rotation, per Jake Rill of MLB.com.

The Orioles acquired Poteet from the Cubs on Sunday in exchange for cash and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Cubs designated Poteet for assignment Thursday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Poteet was acquired from the Yankees over the offseason in the Cody Bellinger trade, but he was sent to the minors in early March and is now off the 40-man roster. He could draw interest via trade or waivers from a club in need of a swingman.

The Cubs optioned Poteet to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.
