Luke Maile - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Pitiful hitting in June Maile has gone 1-for-20 (.050) in nine games in June.

Impact Maile's playing time is already fairly limited to begin with, and his recent performances have inspired no confidence. The 31-year-old has a .213/.304/.319 slash line with five RBI, eight runs scored and a 7:14 BB:K through 56 plate appearances this season. Austin Hedges will see most of the time behind the dish, while Maile will step in for starts once or twice a week.

Perfect at plate Monday Maile went 3-for-3 with a walk and three runs scored in Monday's 6-1 win over the Astros.

Impact Maile's first multi-hit game this season was a big one in his first game action since May 17. The catcher had previously recorded four double in his first seven games, but all three of his hits Monday were singles. He's still not seeing much playing time, as Austin Hedges has received the vast majority of the starts behind the dish.

Picks up fifth start of season Maile will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Maile has provided one double in all four of his starts this season, but the 31-year-old doesn't appear primed for an increased role despite his early success at the dish. He'll be receiving the start at catcher Wednesday due to No. 1 backstop Austin Hedges getting a breather for a day game after a night game.

Activated by Guardians Maile (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact Maile sustained a hamstring injury late in camp and was unavailable to begin the regular season, but he recently appeared in six rehab games and hit .563 with two homers, six runs, six RBI, four walks and three strikeouts. The 31-year-old will serve as the primary backup behind the dish after Bryan Lavastida was optioned to Triple-A Columbus.

Raking during rehab assignment Maile (hamstring) has gone 9-for-16 with two home runs, two doubles and four walks through the first six games of his rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus.

Impact After sustaining the left hamstring injury in the penultimate week of spring training, Maile missed out on the Guardians' Opening Day roster. He was cleared to return to action in the minors April 15 and has proven his health as a hitter, but the Guardians may still want him to log some more innings behind the plate before bringing him back from the 10-day injured list. Whenever he's activated, Maile will likely replace Bryan Lavastida as the top backup behind No. 1 catcher Austin Hedges.

Impact Maile was in camp on a minor-league deal and seemed to have a shot at the backup catcher job, but the hamstring injury he suffered while running the bases in late March put those plans on hold for now.

Impact Maile came up limping while running from first to third base in the second inning on Gabriel Arias' base hit. He wasn't able to put pressure on the injured leg while walking off the field with the assistance of trainers, so Maile could be dealing with more than a day-to-day concern.

Impact Top catcher Omar Narvaez and Manny Pina stayed relateivly healthy all season, so Maile spent most of 2021 at Triple-A Nashville, where he had a .663 OPS in 155 plate appearances. However, Maile took advantage of his 15-game stint in the majors, hitting .300/.382/.433 with four doubles, three RBI and six runs in 34 plate appearances. He should operate as Milwaukee's No. 3 catcher for the NLDS.
