Roster moves: Right-handed pitcher Scott Carroll, who was scratched prior to Wednesday's game against Pawtucket, was recalled by the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. Carroll will be added to Chicago's roster in place of right-hander Hector Noesi, who was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Thursday. Carroll's contract was previously purchased by Chicago on April 26. In eight games with the big league club, he posted a 1-1 record with a 3.12 ERA in 17.1 innings out of the bullpen. Carroll was optioned back to Charlotte on May 28, and in three starts with the Knights, he went 2-1 with a 2.37 ERA.

The Knights placed right-handed pitcher Chris Beck on the DL prior to Thursday's game. In 10 starts with Charlotte this season, Beck is 3-2 with a 3.15 ERA. Beck made his major league debut for the Chicago on May 28 at Baltimore. Against the Orioles, Beck pitched six innings and surrendered 10 hits and five runs (four earned) en route to a 6-3 loss. Baseball America ranked Beck as the No. 11 prospect in the White Sox organization prior to the 2015 season.

Roster moves: For the second consecutive day, the Knights have made a few changes to their roster. After being signed by the Chicago White Sox on Nov. 21, 2014, RHP Jairo Asencio was released by the organization on Friday. In 17 appearances with Charlotte this season, Asencio went 0-2 with nine saves and posted a 5.03 ERA. He allowed four runs in the top of the ninth inning in Thursday's walk-off win over the Columbus Clippers.

Winston-Salem Dash LHP Sean Hagan was promoted to the Knights on Friday. Hagan, who was drafted by the White Sox in the 31st round of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, went 1-1 with two saves and posted a 4.22 ERA in 11 games — including one start — this season.

Knights catcher Kevan Smith was activated from the DL on Friday. Smith rolled his ankle sliding into home plate in Charlotte's 2-1 win over the Syracuse Chiefs on May 16. Smith was placed on the DL the next day. In 29 games with the Knights this season, Smith is batting .273 with two home runs and 12 RBIs. With Smith being activated from the DL, Charlotte catcher Jeremy Dowdy was assigned to Winston-Salem. In eight games with the Knights, Dowdy was hitting .208 with three RBIs.

After making his major-league debut on Thursday for the White Sox, RHP Chris Beck was optioned back to Charlotte after the game. Starting the second game of Chicago's doubleheader against Baltimore, Beck surrendered five runs (four earned) on 10 hits and four walks en route to receiving the loss. Beck and RHP Scott Carroll, who was also optioned on Thursday, aren't currently listed on the Knights' active roster.

Head to head: This is the first of seven series (22 games) between the Knights and Tides this season. The two teams will next face off April 24-26 in Norfolk.

Briefly: The Knights, who finished their inaugural season in Uptown Charlotte 63-81, return to action this season without some familiar faces. Jordan Danks, the franchise’s all-time hits leader, is now a member of the Philadelphia Phillies organization. Marcus Semien and Josh Phegley were lost due to trades, Carlos Sanchez and Micah Johnson earned promotions to the big leagues and last season’s home-run leader Andy Wilkins was claimed off waivers by the Toronto Blue Jays. … Saturday’s scheduled starter for the Knights, Carlos Rodon, is the White Sox current top prospect and considered by many scouts to be the top lefthander in all of Class AAA ball. … Trayce Thompson, the brother of current NBA All-Star Klay, was promoted from Class AA and is expected to take over for Danks in centerfield. … 2014 White Sox, Leury Garcia and Daniel Webb have rejoined the Knights to start the season. … Tyler Saladino has recovered from Tommy John surgery and is slated to start the season as Charlotte’s shortstop. … Knights Game 1 starter Brad Penny, 37, didn’t pitch in the majors at all in 2013 and then turned in a rather unremarkable 26 innings with the Miami Marlins last season, allowing 20 runs while striking out 13 and walking 13. However, the White Sox saw enough out of the former All-Star this spring to justify stashing him in Triple-A, a decision that required a $100,000 veteran’s retention bonus to be paid to Penny in addition to his salary. … The Knights won the season series with the Tides in 2014, 11-10.
