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.

For a couple of minutes there, there was a whiff of belief circulating through Madison Square Garden. Maybe it was fool’s gold. Or maybe it was something else. The final score — Celtics 119, Knicks 117 (OT) — would suggest the former. The life inside the building as the Knicks finally punched back against Boston would hint at the latter.
