DETROIT -- The Blue Jays recalled switch-pitcher Pat Venditte from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday afternoon, and infielder Matt Dominguez was designated for assignment to make room on the 25-man roster.
The move was made to give the Blue Jays an additional arm out of the bullpen. Toronto used four relievers during an 11-0 loss to the Tigers on Monday night, so the club felt the need to add some additional protection.
"Just to cover us," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons explained.
Venditte has gone back and forth from the Minor Leagues several times this year.
