The Baltimore Orioles acquired pitcher Cody Poteet from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for cash considerations.

The Orioles optioned the right-hander to Triple-A Norfolk.

Poteet was sent to the Cubs this offseason as part of the Cody Bellinger trade. The 30-year-old appeared in five games for the Yankees in 2024, logging 24 1/3 innings while posting a 2.22 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 16 strikeouts.

The veteran has spent the majority of his career in the minors. His only other major league experience came in 2021 and 2022, when he played in a total of 19 games as a member of the Miami Marlins.

In spring training, he pitched only 3 1/3 innings for the Cubs, allowing four runs, five hits and three walks. Chicago designated him for assignment on Thursday.

Baltimore's 40-man roster now stands at 39 players.
