Cody Poteet Begins Light Throwing, Nearing Bullpen Sessions
5 months agoNew York Yankees pitcher Cody Poteet (triceps) has begun lightly throwing from the mound and is nearing his first bullpen session. Poteet hit the 15-day injured list on June 18 with a right triceps strain and was shut down from throwing through the rest of June before being re-evaluated. The 29-year-old made four starts this season and performed well with a 2.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and a 7:13 BB:K ratio across 21 innings. He limited hard contact quite well with a 6.6% barrel rate. The UCLA product will likely shift to a bullpen role once he is cleared to return but may be called upon during the stretch run to make a handful of spot starts. He might have streaming appeal but should be left on all waiver wires for the time being.
