Giants' Pat Venditte: Sticks in organization

Venditte cleared waivers Sunday and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento.

The Giants will keep Venditte in the organization after removing him from their 40-man roster Thursday, when he was designated for assignment. Venditte has handled mostly low-leverage work across 68 career big-league innings, during which he's posted a 5.03 ERA and 1.31 WHIP.
