Mariners' Pat Venditte: Recalled by Mariners

Venditte was recalled by the Mariners on Saturday, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

With Tom Wilhelmsen landing on the DL with a back injury Saturday, the Mariners were in dire need of bullpen depth. Venditte, the switch pitcher, and Dan Altavilla will join the Mariners' bullpen to provide some fresh arms. In five appearances at Triple-A Tacoma, Venditte fired 8.1 innings of one-run ball while fanning eleven batters.
