Maile will start at catcher and bat ninth in the order Wednesday against the Indians, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Maile will pick up his second start behind the plate in three games since Russell Martin (shoulder/neck) hit the disabled list Monday. Martin acknowledged that the injury has been bothering him since spring training and isn't comparable to an issue he's dealt with before, so there's a good possibility the veteran backstop will miss more than the minimum 10 days. While Maile will stand to benefit if that's the case, he'll need to show some more offense before moving up in the lineup. Maile has gone 1-for-13 at the dish in five games with the Blue Jays this season.
