Yankees’ Cody Poteet twirls gem in first outing since 2022
NY Post
CLEVELAND — It had been almost 21 months since Cody Poteet last stepped foot on a big league mound before Saturday.
But the Yankees right-hander certainly looked the part.
Called up from Triple-A as the 27th man to make a spot start in the nightcap of Saturday’s doubleheader, Poteet delivered six sharp innings of one-run ball in an 8-2 win over the Guardians that completed a sweep at Progressive Field.
“Just being back out there on a major league field, it’s such a privilege and not a guarantee,” said Poteet, who underwent Tommy John surgery in August 2022. “Just very thankful to be able to be out there tonight.”
Working on a pitch count of 80, Poteet made the most of his outing, using 77 pitches to record 18 outs and help preserve the Yankees’ bullpen in the second game of a doubleheader.
He struck out four, walked none and only allowed a solo home run to ex-Yankee Estevan Florial.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
