Batten was recalled from Triple-A El Paso by the Padres on Tuesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Batten will provide some extra infield protection while Jake Cronenworth (calf) is banged up. The 28-year-old Batten put up a .713 OPS with two homers and two steals over 43 games with the big club last season and can handle every infield position as well as the corner outfield spots.
