Luke Maile starting at catcher for Blue Jays versus Boston

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Luke Maile is starting on Friday night against the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Russell Martin is getting a breather, so Maile will catch Blue Jays right-hander Marco Estrada. He's batting ninth in the order against Red Sox righty Doug Fister.

The Blue Jays have an implied total of 5.05 runs tonight while playing with a strong park factor (1.043) against a starting pitcher with a 12.0 percent walk rate, so perhaps that's enough upside for Maile to be worth using in fantasy. He costs $2,000 with a projection of 6.4 FanDuel points.
