White Sox manager Robin Ventura said he still hasn't decided what to do with starting pitcher Andre Rienzo, who lost a fifth straight start Saturday at Minnesota. Ventura might replace Rienzo in the rotation with Scott Carroll, who is pitching out of the bullpen.
"That would be the option is to flip-flop," Ventura said, per MLB.com. "Right now, I don't know if you can necessarily just put Andre out in the bullpen. The way Scotty throws strikes, you like if you are going to bring a guy in out of the bullpen, he's going to be able to do what Scotty has done."
Carroll, who is 1-3 with a 6.15 ERA, has a 1.83 ERA in 19 2/3 innings as a reliever. Carroll said adding the cutter to his repertoire has helped his transition to the bullpen.
"Adding the cutter has been a big pitch. It has helped a lot with lefties," Carroll said of the pitch he incorporated after his May 19 start in Kansas City. "We came back home and started playing catch with it and it has been feeling good and it has been a big pitch for me."
