The White Sox recalled catcher Kevan Smith from Triple-A Charlotte before Tuesday’s double-header, after optioning Alfredo Gonzalez to Charlotte on Monday.
Smith was on the disabled list when starting catcher Welington Castillo was suspended for 80-game for a PED violation, forcing the Sox to bring up Gonzalez as the back-up to Omar Narvaez.
Gonzalez went 1-for-9 in three games. Smith, who shared the job last year with Narvaez, was hitting .268 at Charlotte with four home runs and 16 RBI in 30 games. He hit .283 for the Sox last year, a franchise record for rookie catchers, albeit in 276 at-bats.
