The 27-year-old Jenks is 2-0 with a 1.95 ERA for the AL Central leaders and ranks ninth among AL relievers with 18 saves. He last pitched on June 29 and got the save as the White Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs.
Carrasco, 31, was 1-1 with a 2.38 ERA, one save and 23 strikeouts in seven games with Charlotte. He appeared in 101 games over three seasons with Kansas City from 2003-05, going 14-15 with a 4.81 ERA.
"He was the last guy to be cut this spring training," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "He's going to give me more flexibility. He has experience. He's available to give us two or three innings if we need it."
Guillen has said right-hander Scott Linebrink, who blew a save in Tuesday night's 8-7, 13-inning victory over Kansas City, will continue to close in Jenks' absence.
