Maile underwent an MRI Tuesday after the Blue Jays placed him on the disabled list with knee inflammation and activated Miguel Montero.

“It’s been bothering me for a while. It’s something that’s been banged up a little bit. The symptoms have been pretty consistent,” Maile said Tuesday. “It was challenging to fight through it but I thought it was doable. But now, with the moves that are going on, I just feel like it’s smart to get it looked at.

In 33 games with the Blue Jays the 26-year-old’s hitting .121/.154/.202.
