Smith is out of the lineup for the second straight game Monday against the Reds, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic Cincinnati reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has now sat in favor of Omar Narvaez for three out of the last four games and seven of the last 13. Neither catcher seems particularly close to claiming a full-time starting job.

Smith is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will take a seat Saturday after starting three of the last four games, including a 13-inning contest Thursday. The 30-year-old has performed well since being recalled in early June with a .345/.367/.379 slash line, and has started 15 of 26 games behind the plate for the White Sox.

Smith went 1-for-6 with a stolen base in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Twins in extra innings.
EDGE Analysis
Smith guided Lucas Giolito through some first-inning wildness and was part of a no-hitter until the sixth inning. He and Omar Narvaez have been alternating starts the last week, and that pattern is expected to continue Friday after Smith was behind the plate for 13 innings Thursday. Of the two catchers, Smith has been the better hitter, collecting hits in 13 of the 14 games he's played and batting .352 since being called up.

Smith is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Unsurprisingly, Smith will get the night off with the White Sox scheduled to play a matinee contest Wednesday. The backstop has collected a hit in all but one game he's appeared in this season, resulting in a healthy .395/.395/.421 line through 38 plate appearances (10 games). Omar Narvaez will start behind the dish and hit sixth in this one.

Smith is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will head to the bench for what appears to be a routine day off after going 1-for-3 in Monday's series opener. Omar Narvaez will draw a start behind the dish in his stead, hitting sixth.

Smith is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
With seven hits in 16 at-bats since being promoted to the big club Tuesday, Smith seems to have emerged as the White Sox's preferred backstop over Omar Narvaez. Smith had started four of the last five games behind the dish, so he'll be receiving a routine breather in the series finale as Narvaez checks in at catcher.
