Right-handed starting pitcher Cody Poteet has returned to Jacksonville's active roster from the Temporarily Inactive List due to the birth of a child. Poteet this season is 2-2 with a 3.52 ERA in his four starts with the Jumbo Shrimp.

In a corresponding move, right-handed starting pitcher Josh Roeder has been transferred from Jacksonville to High-A Jupiter.
