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.

Cleveland Guardians catcher
Luke Maile (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment on Friday with Triple-A Columbus. Maile started the season on the injured list with a hamstring injury but shouldn't be out for much longer, barring a setback on his rehab assignment. The 31-year-old veteran backstop should serve as the backup to
Austin Hedges once he's healthy enough to return to the big leagues.
Bryan Lavastida is currently backing up Hedges with Maile on the injured list. Maile didn't play at all in 2020 and saw action in just 15 major league games last year for the Milwaukee Brewers, going 9-for-30 with no home runs and three RBI. He has 10 career homers in six major league seasons.

The Cleveland Guardians agreed to a minor league deal with free-agent catcher
Luke Maile on Saturday that will pay him $900,000 if he's in the major leagues. Maile hit .300/.382/.433 with no home runs and three RBI in just 34 plate appearances over 15 games for the Milwaukee Brewers, and he hasn't done much with the bat in parts of six major league seasons with the Brewers, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays. The 31-year-old backstop has a career .203/.258/.310 slash line with 10 home runs and 63 RBI in 691 plate appearances over 230 games. Maile will be serving as catching depth for the Guardians alongside
Austin Hedges in 2022.
