RHP Bryan Mitchell has been promoted to Triple-A Scranton, according to Chad Jennings. RHP Joel De La Cruz was sent down to Double-A Trenton in a corresponding move. Also, I’m a few days late on this, but Howard Megdal spoke to switch-pitcher Pat Venditte, who is still trying to get to the show after right shoulder surgery and becoming a sidearmer from both sides. Check it out.
