White Sox Designate Eric Surkamp For Assignment

The White Sox tweeted they have designated left-hander Eric Surkamp for assignment. The White Sox also tweeted they have purchased the contract of right-hander Scott Carroll from Triple-A Charlotte, a move necessitated when Matt Albers (who was injured in Friday’s brawl with the Royals, as chronicled by MLB.com’s Scott Merkin) was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a compression fracture on the pinky of his throwing hand.
