Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
A fine defensive catcher, Maile slashed .221/.301/.326 through 206 plate appearances in 2022. He missed a handful of weeks early in the season before rejoining the Guardians and serving as backup to Austin Hedges. Maile was non-tendered by Cleveland but quickly latched on with the Reds. Cincinatti has Tyler Stephenson as its primary catcher and signed Curt Casali to be the top backup, so Maile shouldn't serve as anything more than the No. 3 option in 2023, barring injuries.

Swipes first bag
Maile went 1-for-3 with a steal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
It was the first steal since 2019 for Maile, who's started three of the Reds' last four games behind the plate, with Tyler Stephenson getting more time at DH. The 32-year-old Maile has made the most of his expanded role, going 4-for-10 with two homers and four RBI in that span. While it's still hard to envision Maile becoming a regular fantasy option, he's gotten off to a nice start this season, slashing .286/.348/.548 with five RBI and six runs scored through 46 plate appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2017
2016
Maile received a career-high 231 plate appearances last season and performed competently enough, hitting .248/.333/.366. Nothing about those numbers excites, and he hit just three homers, but the line was good for a 95 wRC+, perfectly adequate for a catcher. Combined with good framing numbers, Maile looks primed for a lengthy run in the big leagues as a backup. Danny Jansen is the future for the Blue Jays behind the plate, so Maile will likely be stuck fighting with Reese McGuire for the leftover opportunities after Russell Martin was traded to the Dodgers in January.
