Player Outlook
Luke Maile has carved out a nice career for himself as a backup catcher in the league since 2015, and that career track will continue as the Reds re-signed Maile in the offseason to one-year deal with a club option. Maile's career high for plate appearances came in 2018, but has come in right around 200 plate appearances each of the past two seasons. He has value in the new era of real baseball as a good thrower beind the plate having gunned down 34% of potential basestealers while catching for both Ohio-based clubs. He has the power to barrel up mistakes, but is otherwise perfectly suited for the job he has and his fantasy value is limited to two-catcher NL-Only leagues.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Hopeful for abbreviated IL stint

    Rotowire
    Reds manager David Bell said Friday that he's hopeful that Maile (back) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list shortly after the All-Star break, MLB.com reports. Maile was diagnosed with a herniated disc and placed on the IL on Friday after he had previously complained of a nerve issue on the lower right side near his hip following the Reds' 8-4 win over the Yankees on Thursday. Bell said that Maile has already received an injection to treat the injury, so the veteran backstop could be cleared to resume baseball activities once the shot takes full effect. Austin Wynns was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Friday and will serve as the backup to Tyler Stephenson while Maile is on the shelf.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Hits IL

    Rotowire
    Mailey was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a herniated disc in his back. Maile was removed from Thursday's contest with what was initially deemed a hip injury, but further evaluation revealed he's dealing with a herniated disc. The injury and subsequent IL stint means that Maile won't be eligible to return until after the All-Star break. Austin Wynns was brought up from Triple-A and should operate as Tyler Stephenson's primary backup.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Out of lineup Friday

    Rotowire
    Maile (hip) is absent from the starting nine Friday against Detroit. Maile was removed from Thursday's game in the seventh inning due to a hip injury and won't start Friday's contest. Early indications are that Maile's injury is minor, and it's unclear if he would have been in the lineup Friday even if healthy.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Removed with side injury

    Rotowire
    Maile was removed from Thursday's game in the seventh inning after sustaining a side injury near his right hip, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Maile said he was uncomfortable all day and felt pain on the follow-through of his swing that produced an inning-ending groundout in the bottom of the sixth frame. He remained in the game but was eventually removed the next inning. Maile described it as a nerve hurting on the lower right side of his hip. He received treatment following the game and reports feeling better already.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Sitting Saturday

    Rotowire
    Maile isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals. After going 0-for-6 to begin the series, Maile will get a breather against Sonny Gray and the Cardinals on Saturday. Austin Wynns will take over behind the plate and bat ninth.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Enters starting lineup

    Rotowire
    Maile started at catcher and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Cardinals. Primary catcher Tyler Stephenson was added to the paternity list Friday, which means Maile could handle the catching duties over the weekend. Maile is batting .188/.288/.281 over 37 games.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Makes second straight start

    Rotowire
    Maile started at catcher and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox. Maile, who has eight steals over 414 career games in MLB, has showed off his "wheels" of late. He's stolen two bases over his last three starts. In between, he scored from second base on a sacrifice-suicide squeeze bunt Friday night. Maile started a second straight game behind the dish while Tyler Stephenson copes with an undisclosed injury. Stephenson eventually entered Saturday's game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning, which suggests Maile's run as the primary backstop could end in the coming days.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Doubles, scores insurance run

    Rotowire
    Maile went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over Boston. Maile got the start in place of Tyler Stephenson (undisclosed) and scored an insurance run in the seventh inning. After Santiago Espinal reached on an error, Maile's double put runners on second and third, setting up TJ Friedl's sacrifice bunt. Red Sox pitcher Cam Booser's hurried throw home to nail Espinal went past Connor Wong and allowed Maile to score from second. It's unclear how much time Stephenson needs, but the Reds called up catcher Austin Wynns from Triple-A Louisville on Friday. Maile should be the primary starter for as long as Stephenson is unavailable.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Homers in loss

    Rotowire
    Maile went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Cubs. The Reds' offense busted out the last week during the club's seven-game winning streak but was dormant Sunday. Maile launched his second homer and has hit safely in seven of the last nine games (7-for-23, .304).

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Draws fourth straight start

    Rotowire
    Maile will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Padres. Maile will make his fourth consecutive start while Tyler Stephenson tends to a hand injury. The Reds continue to view Stephenson as day-to-day, so Maile could soon be headed back to the No. 2 role behind the dish.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Behind dish Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Maile will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers. Maile will get his fifth start behind the plate in the Reds' 12th game of the season Wednesday while Tyler Stephenson rests. Though Stephenson still appears to be viewed as the Reds' No. 1 catcher, Maile looks like he'll get the chance to start once per series while Cincinnati looks to keep Stephenson fresh for the duration of the campaign.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Big day at plate

    Rotowire
    Maile went 3-for-4 with a home run, five RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's spring game against San Francisco. Balls were flying out the park in Scottsdale, as the two teams combined for 10 home runs in a 19-11 victory for the Reds. Maile's grand slam was one of seven homers for Cincinnati. He's on a tear this spring, batting .471 with a 1.432 OPS, including two home runs and nine RBI. Maile is slated to back up Tyler Stephenson at catcher.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Re-signs with Cincinnati

    Rotowire
    The Reds re-signed Maile to a one-year contract Thursday with a club option for 2025. Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports that the guaranteed value of the deal is $3.5 million. Maile owns an underwhelming .212/.275/.328 career batting line in 380 major-league games, but the 32-year-old catcher has a solid defensive reputation and will return as an active backup to Tyler Stephenson, who often gets starts in the DH role.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Contributes to comeback win

    Rotowire
    Maile went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians. Maile and the rest of the lineup overcame a short three-inning outing from starter Hunter Greene. The journeyman catcher belted a solo homer in the third third inning, then lashed a two-out, two-run single in the fifth that plated the game-winning run. Maile has six home runs, 25 RBI and a .723 OPS over 75 games.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Returns to action

    Rotowire
    Maile (hand) is starting behind the dish and hitting ninth Wednesday against the Twins. He has been out a few days with a bruised hand, but it's not an overly serious issue. Maile is hitting .059 with two runs and one RBI in 17 at-bats this month.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Out with bruised hand

    Rotowire
    Maile (hand) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Twins. Maile hasn't appeared in a game since Friday due to a bruised left hand, but X-rays taken Saturday turned up clean and he should be available off the bench Tuesday versus Minnesota. Tyler Stephenson is starting at catcher for the Reds and batting fifth.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: X-rays negative

    Rotowire
    Maile (hand) underwent X-rays Saturday which came back negative, MLB.com reports. With the X-rays confirming Maile has nothing more serious than a bruised hand, the catcher was available Sunday but did not appear in an 8-4 loss to the Mets.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Homers, collects three hits

    Rotowire
    Maile went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Giants. Maile got the Reds on the board with a two-run shot off Alex Cobb in the bottom of the third and later added two singles, giving him his first three-hit game of the season. The catcher was 0-for-11 at the plate in July coming in, while the home run was his first since May 20 against the Yankees. He's caught all nine starts of rookie left-hander Andrew Abbott, who has a sterling 2.10 ERA and has given the starting rotation a lift.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Two hits, homer Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Maile went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies. Maile extended Cincinnati's lead to 2-0 with an RBI double in the second inning. He'd add a home run, his second of the season, off Austin Gomber in the fifth. It was a solid showing from Maile in a rare start -- he's typically the Reds' third catching option behind Tyler Stephenson and Curt Casali. The veteran backstop is now slashing a solid .278/.333/.500 through 39 plate appearances this season.

  • Reds' Luke Maile: Signs with Reds

    Rotowire
    Maile signed a one-year deal with the Reds on Monday. Maile slashed .221/.301/.326 through 206 plate appearances last season for Cleveland, and found a decent amount of success against left-handed pitching (.300 AVG, 8 RBI). Tyler Stephenson will likely remain Cincinnati's primary option behind the plate, but Maile could still see a good chunk of playing time in 2023 as a backup.
