Hundley (knee) caught a bullpen session Thursday and believes he's about 10 days away from a rehab assignment, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hundley landed on the injured list with back spasms in early June and also underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee June 18. The 35-year-old's initial recovery timeline put his return in early August, and he appears to be on track or slightly ahead of schedule in his progression.

Hundley underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hundley landed on the 10-day injured list June 8 due to back spasms, though it appears he was also dealing with a knee injury that needed to be surgically repaired. According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, manager Bob Melvin expects the 35-year-old to miss about six weeks, which would put his return in early August. Beau Taylor is expected to fill in as the backup catcher until Hundley can return.

Hundley (back) has not resumed baseball activities and is expected to remain sidelined beyond the minimum 10 days that his injured-list stint requires, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hundley's back spasms haven't subsided much since he began experiencing them June 8 during a doubleheader against the Rangers. He received a cortisone shot earlier this past week to alleviate some of the pain, but he still has considerable physical limitations. As such, Hundley remains without a firm timetable for return, and he also faces the prospect of eventual competition from Chris Herrmann (knee), who's two games into a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Hundley was placed on the 10-day injured list with back spasms Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hundley left the afternoon portion of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rangers after an awkward swing and apparently hurt himself badly enough to require a trip to the IL. Beau Taylor's contract was selected in time for him to be available for the nightcap.

Hundley left Saturday's game against the Rangers with back spasms.

EDGE Analysis

Hundley appeared to injure himself on an awkward swing and was lifted for Josh Phegley. The severity of the injury and whether or not the Athletics will make a roster move remain to be seen.

Hundley went 3-for-4 with a home run, double, two RBI and walk during a 7-2 victory against the Indians on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Hundley's first three-hit game of the season, and considering he came into the night with only three hits during the entire month of May, this performance arrives as a big surprise. Granted, Hundley has only received 17 at-bats this month, but that may increase since he's 4-for-7 with two home runs in his last three games. Hundley is batting .237 with six extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs in 59 at-bats this season.

Hundley went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Tigers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop parlayed one of his relatively rare starting opportunities into a productive showing, blasting his first round tripper of the season in the process. Hundley got his average to the Mendoza Line for the first time this season with Saturday's production, and he's now hit safely in three of four starts this month. Moreover, all three of his May hits thus far have gone for extra bases, with Hundley notching a double, a triple and the aforementioned homer.

Hundley went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run in a win over the Indians on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop made good use of a relatively rare playing opportunity, lacing his first three-bagger of the season in the fifth and ultimately scoring on the play due to a throwing error by Jake Bauers. Hundley has logged only 54 plate appearances all season and has just one RBI, as Josh Phegley's productive bat has kept the latter on the heavy side of the platoon behind the dish. Factoring in Saturday's production, Hundley is hitting .192 on the season, although he's now hit safely in four of his last five starts.

Hundley went 2-for-3 with a run and was caught stealing on his only attempt in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hundley had been having a very rough go of it with the bat prior to Wednesday, but his first multi-hit effort of 2018 served to boost his average 25 points to .171. The veteran catcher is still lagging considerably behind platoon mate Josh Phegley in terms of offensive production, which makes it likely he'll continue seeing significantly less playing time than the latter for the time being.

Hundley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the bench for the fourth time in five games, Hundley appears to have slipped to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart at catcher behind the hot-hitting Josh Phegley, who has recorded two home runs and two doubles over his past four starts. Hundley, meanwhile, is slashing an anemic .115/.148/.115 through 27 plate appearances and has yet to score a run this season. Expect manager Bob Melvin to ride Phegley's sizzling bat for as long as it lasts.
