BALTIMORE – The Chicago White Sox added right-handed starter Chris Beck to the active roster Thursday and optioned right-hander Scott Carroll to Triple-A Charlotte.
Beck was utilized quickly as he was inserted as the starter for the second game of Thursday’s doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles. He was making his major league debut.
Beck had been recalled earlier in the season, when he was added as the 26th man on the roster for the May 9 doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds. He did not appear in either game.
Beck, 24, was 3-2 with a 3.30 ERA in eight starts at Charlotte this season. Carroll, 30, was 1-1 with a 3.12 ERA in eight relief appearances with the White Sox. He is expected to return to the starting rotation at Charlotte.
