Cody Poteet To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

By Darragh McDonald | August 9, 2022 at 4:55pm CDT

Marlins’ right-hander Cody Poteet will undergo Tommy John surgery, the team announced to reporters, including Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. The 28-year-old is already on the 60-day injured list, having first landed on the 15-day IL at the end of May before being transferred in late July.

Poteet will miss the remainder of this season and likely all of 2023 as well, given the lengthy recovery time required after such a procedure. It’s an unfortunate blow to the club’s pitching corps, with Poteet having made seven starts for the club last year, followed by two starts and ten relief appearances this season.

Between those two campaigns, Poteet has thrown 58 2/3 innings with a 4.45 ERA, 21.5% strikeout rate and 11% walk rate. He’s been more impressive in the minors over those two seasons, throwing 14 2/3 innings with a 1.84 ERA, a 37.9% strikeout rate and 6.9% walk rate.

Poteet will pick up a full year of MLB service time this season, as he was never optioned during this campaign, his only time in the minors coming during a rehab assignment. Since there’s no injured list in the winter, he will need to be reinstated and once again take up a roster spot in the offseason. He came into the year with 145 days of MLB service time, meaning he will be at 1.145 at season’s end. He still won’t have qualified for arbitration, meaning the Marlins could keep him around cheaply through next year, provided he holds onto his roster spot until Spring Training, when the injured list returns.

    Well, so most likely he’ll be 30 when he can return, so his time with the Marlins is most likely done. He may be an international player when he’s ready to return.

    Tough break for a guy battling to just stay in the big leagues.

      Haha great reply you crack me up – not sure he will be an international player, BUT MAYBE!
      And look Poteet was pitching great until he got hurt. Tough luck Marlins this year with Luzardo, Chilsolm, Meyer, Cabrera and others going down, missing significant portions of this season.

      Can you tell us how much missed WAR this means?

    He was untouchable early on this year, and was good last year as well, but he has had issues with his knee, ankle, and now his elbow. I always liked him in the lower minor leagues as a guy that just competes, kind of like a Ricky Nolasco/Tom Koehler type, but needing to work on the 3rd pitch, and maybe not throwing hard enough to be more than a swing guy, but he added a couple of mphs on the fastball, and refined the slider a bit, and still threw strikes and was a capable #4 type of starter, and looked a lot better than expected as a multiinning reliever

    Sucks to see this, especially with all the depth they’ve lost in the last year, and the injuries and falloff of guys. Smart move to hold him out for all that time to bring him back so he can make it worse pretty immediately. Could have just gave the original issue more time, and maybe he comes back around now, and instead he essentially misses 2 seasons. Classic Marlins there though
