The 31-year-old pitched 35 innings in 25 games – including two starts – with triple-A Buffalo, where he posted a 2-1 record with a 4.37 ERA.
Toronto claimed Venditte off waivers from the Oakland Athletics during the off-season.
It’s the second trade the Blue Jays have made with Seattle in as many weeks. They acquired reliever Joaquin Benoit in exchange for reliever Drew Storen on July 26.
