Venditte was optioned to Triple-A on Monday.
Venditte had been getting knocked around since his callup, posting a 5.19 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in his eight relief appearances. His 7.27 K/9 and 4.15 BB/9 are very poor for a reliever, so he'll head back to Triple-A to sort things out while Scott Diamond steps into his role in the bullpen.
