Carroll was traded to the Rangers for cash considerations Wednesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Carroll had been outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday and will now pack up and join the Rangers. Carroll, a former third-round pick, hasn't been able to find his game in Triple-A this season, going 2-8 with a 5.55 ERA through 60 innings of work in a combined role both as a reliever and starter. The 31-year-old also gave up three earned runs in three appearances out of the White Sox's bullpen this season. He will likely play out the season as minor league depth.

Rotowire
Carroll was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
The White Sox sent Erik Johnson down to Triple-A following his previous start, leaving a hole in the Chicago pitching staff. Despite having fairly bad numbers with Triple-A Charlotte, Carroll got promoted to the big leagues. The right-hander has experience pitching out of the rotation and the bullpen, so he could act in either role for the White Sox depending on what their current needs are.

White Sox's Scott Carroll: On roster bubble?
Rotowire
Carroll has allowed four runs over his three appearances this spring in his quest for a bullpen role.
All three of those appearances were for an inning or longer, and he could be the team's second option for a long-man in the bullpen should Jacob Turner disappoint. Carroll still has minor league options, so he could shuttle between Triple-A Charlotte and Chicago for much of the season.
