Over 23 starts between the two clubs, he went 7–6 with a 3.56 ERA, striking out 92 over 136+1⁄3 innings.

Poteet pitched in 12 games for Miami in 2022, posting a 3.86 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 28.0 innings of work. On August 9, 2022, it was announced that Poteet would require Tommy John surgery and would miss the remainder of the season.

On December 15, 2022, Poteet signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals. [22] Poteet spent the majority of the 2023 season recovering from surgery, and made one scoreless appearance for the Triple–A Omaha Storm Chasers.

[26] The Yankees promoted him to the major leagues as their 27th man to start the second game of a doubleheader on April 13, [27] a game in which he earned the victory, pitching 6.0 innings and surrendering 1 Earned Run in an 8-2 Yankees win.
