Kevan Smith heads to Angels on waiver claim, clarifying White Sox catching situation

A crowded White Sox catching situation got slightly less so Friday.

Kevan Smith is heading to the Los Angeles Angels, who claimed the 30-year-old catcher off waivers.

Smith was one of three catchers the White Sox had at the end of the 2018 season, along with Omar Narvaez and Welington Castillo. Smith didn't make the Opening Day roster but ended up playing in 52 games, getting far more action than expected thanks to Castillo's 80-game drug suspension.
