Poteet has already missed more than five weeks with shoulder inflammation. This means he’ll miss at least three more.

Poteet allowed five runs on six hits in 2 2/3 innings for the Orioles on Sunday. He’ll now head to the injured list with Brandon Young coming back up to take his place on the active roster.

Poteet gives Baltimore some additional long relief depth over the next couple days. The 30-year-old righty was acquired from the Cubs back in late March after failing to make Chicago’s season-opening roster following his inclusion in the offseason Cody Bellinger trade with the Yankees.

Poteet was designated for assignment Thursday, and finds a new home a few days later. The right-hander will be a depth piece for Baltimore as long as he stays in the organization.
