Navarro will start at catcher and bat seventh Monday against the Yankees, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Navarro will be in the lineup for the fifth time in six games, as his recent surge at the plate has keyed his increased usage. Over his last four appearances, Navarro has gone 5-for-16 with five RBI. Manager Robin Ventura continues to employ a timeshare at catcher with Navarro and Alex Avila, but more often than not, expect the hotter bat to win out.

Navarro was responsible for over half of the White Sox scoring in Saturday's 7-6 victory over the Astros, contributing a two-RBI triple and two-RBI single over four at-bats.
EDGE Analysis
Slotted in the seven-hole and serving as the DH, Navarro came through with some timely hitting on two occasions. He answered Jose Altuve's first-inning homer off Chris Sale with a three-bagger to right center that brought home Todd Frazier and Alex Avila in the second, and then smacked a go-ahead two-run single in the fifth that drove in Jose Abreu and Frazier. It was his second multi-hit game in the last three starts, and his first multi-RBI day since April 27 versus the Blue Jays.

Navarro is not in the lineup Friday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Alex Avila will catch for starter Mike Fiers, as Avila and Navarro continue to split time behind the plate fairly evenly. A .265/.331/.434 career hitter against left-handed pitching, Navarro is now batting just .182/.255/.364 against southpaws this season.

Navarro is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Navarro is in the midst of an 0-for-14 stretch over the last four games and has fallen back into a timeshare with Alex Avila at catcher. Until one of the two players claims a majority of the starts at the position, Navarro and Avila will both have their fantasy appeal limited to AL-only or two-catcher formats.

Navarro went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
It's his first steal of the season, but Navarro swiped three for the Blue Jays in 2014 so it's not completely out of the blue. He's starting to find his groove at the plate, going 9-for-29 (.310) over his last nine games, and with Alex Avila not offering much offense at the moment, Navarro could begin to take on a larger share of the playing time behind the plate.

Navarro is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Navarro has been the primary backstop for the White Sox this season, but Sunday will mark the third time in four days that he will be rested in favor of Alex Avila. Neither option is making much noise at the plate, however, so expect a regular rotation until further notice.

Navarro is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Navarro will sit out for the second time this series, as the recent return of Alex Avila (hamstring) from the DL has cut into his workload. Both players could continue to split the at-bats at catcher going forward, thus limiting Navarro's fantasy appeal.

Navarro is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The numbers still look ugly for Navarro, but he's starting to heat up with hits in six of eight games to begin May, and the 32-year-old continues to handle the primary share of the workload behind the plate. Alex Avila will get the nod Friday.

Navarro is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Navarro started 12 of the 14 games the White Sox played while Alex Avila was on the disabled list, but he will play off the bench Monday with Avila back on the roster. The two shared the catching duties earlier this season when both were healthy, and that figures to be the case once again.

Navarro went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and one run Saturday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
After the White Sox fell behind by two runs, Navarro's double put them on the board in the second inning of a game they'd go on to win. He's now collected hits in four of his last five games, and during that time he's raised his batting average from .174 to .217.
