Patino was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Patino started Friday's game against the Blue Jays and allowed seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out five in 5.1 innings to take the loss. He now carries a 1-2 record in the majors this year and will head back to the Triple-A club following his lackluster start. It's not yet clear whether he could be called back up to make another start prior to the All-Star break.
