The Padres optioned Batten to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Batten was called up by the Padres on April 16 and went 1-for-3 with a triple the following day against the Brewers. Batten's move to Triple-A El Paso makes room for San Diego to call up Graham Pauley, who will start at third base Saturday against the Blue Jays.
