The White Sox were left with a void when their veteran catcher was suspended for a positive test for a performance-enhancing drug but are are getting strong play behind the plate from Kevan Smith and Omar Narvaez.
“It’s been really good,’’ general manager Rick Hahn said of the catcher’s spot.
Castillo’s 80-game suspension provided one of the low points of a season that has had few high points. Yet the Sox have generated a .737 OPS from their catchers, which ranks behind only the Yankees and the Rays among American League teams.
