June 18--The Chicago White Sox designated right-handed pitcher Hector Noesi for assignment and recalled right-hander Scott Carroll to take his place before Thursday night's game against the Pirates at U.S. Cellular Field.
Noesi had started the season as the Sox's fifth starter, but the Sox gave his spot to rookie left-hander Carlos Rodon in May. He was kept on as a long reliever and spot starter for when Rodon needed extra rest, but he had only made three relief appearances since May 25. He gave up four runs -- three earned -- in his last outing Monday against the Pirates.
Noesi leaves with an 0-4 record, a 6.89 ERA and 22 strikeouts in 10 games, including five starts, this season.
Carroll was 1-1 with a 3.12 ERA over eight relief appearances while with the Sox in April and May. He was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on May 28 in favor of reliever Daniel Webb and has made three starts there since, giving up four earned runs with seven walks and seven strikeouts over 15 2/3 innings.
He could be in line for a spot start down the road if the Sox opt to give Rodon another rest.
