Giants minor league pitcher Pat Venditte has taken a leave of absence to be with his wife after she experienced a chilling medical episode on July 4.
He brought friends and fans up to date Tuesday on Twitter.
Venditte, 34, probably best known for being a switch-pitcher, made his major league debut with the A’s in 2015. He appeared in 26 games, with a record of 2-2. He also has pitched for the Blue Jays, Mariners and Dodgers.
The Omaha native has spent most of this season with the Giants’ Sacramento Triple-A affiliate. He has made two relief appearances for the major league Giants.
