Carroll was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Tuesday.

Analysis:

Carroll's spot on the 40-man roster was needed in order to make Friday's signing of first baseman Adam LaRoche official. Carrol was 5-10 with a 4.80 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 2014, and may garner interest from another team on waivers looking for another bullpen candidate or back-end starter.
