Luke Maile News: Exiting 40-man roster

The Royals designated Maile for assignment Monday.

Maile came up at the beginning of May when Salvador Perez was unable to catch due to a hip issue and stuck around a bit as a third catcher even after Perez was cleared to don the catcher's gear. However, the Royals now have a better use for the roster spot. There's a good chance Maile clears waivers.
