Luke Maile News
Cincinnati Reds catcher Luke Maile has agreed to a one-year extension with the club that includes a club option for the 2025 season. The veteran backup got into 78 games with the Reds in his first season in Cincinnati in 2023 and hit .235 with six home runs, two stolen bases, and a .699 OPS across 199 plate appearances, palatable numbers for a backup catcher who graded out well defensively behind the plate. The 32-year-old has appeared in 385 career big-league contests and has hit .212 with 19 HR, six SB, and a .603 OPS across 1,096 plate appearances between the Rays, Blue Jays, Brewers, Guardians, and Reds.
The Cincinnati Reds have signed catcher Luke Maile to a one-year deal, per a tweet from the National League Central franchise on Tuesday. The 31-year-old hit .221 with a .301 on-base percentage and three home runs in 206 plate appearances for the Cleveland Guardians in the 2022 season, appearing in 76 games in the process. He'll give the Reds a veteran backstop to utilize alongside starter Tyler Stephenson during the 2023 campaign.
Cleveland Guardians catcher Luke Maile is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Twins. With Austin Hedges on the injured list, Maile has become Cleveland's primary backstop, but he'll take a seat after starting each of the last two games. The 31-year-old should only be an option for fantasy managers in desperate need of a warm body at the position in two-catcher leagues, as he's hitting just .179 with no home runs and five RBI in 67 at-bats on the season. Sandy Leon will take over behind the dish and bat eighth on Thursday against Twins right-hander Chris Archer. Leon is a DFS option to avoid. He's only played in two games for Cleveland this year and has gone 0-for-3.
