(Fort Mill, SC) - Reliever Deunte Heath, who has appeared in five games so far this season for the Charlotte Knights, has been recalled to the Chicago White Sox, as announced today by Chicago. Heath, a member of Chicago's 40-man roster, was 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA over nine innings this year for the Knights. Heath takes the roster spot of RHP Gavin Floyd, who was placed on the disabled list by the White Sox.
