Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Royals in March of 2025.
Up from Omaha
The Royals selected Maile's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Friday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Salvador Perez has been playing through a bit of calf tightness recently, so the Royals will bring up Maile to provid insurance behind the plate in case Perez ends up on the IL. The 34-year-old Maile has done well in the minors this year, slashing .280/.416/.354 through 101 plate appearances at Triple-A. Drew Waters was optioned to Omaha in a corresponding move.

Stat Review
How does Luke Maile compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2019
2017
2016
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bigger role on tap?
With Manny Pina possibly set to leave Milwaukee in free agency, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports, Maile could emerge as the No. 2 catcher in 2022.
Analysis
Omar Narvaez has been the team's starter, but if Pina leaves, there's an opportunity for some playing time in a backup role. Maile looked good in a brief stint for the Brewers this season, slashing .300/.382/.433 with four doubles, three RBI and six runs in 34 plate appearances, and he could get extended run in 2022.
