Hundley accepted a job with MLB as a Senior Director of Baseball Operations, freelance baseball writer Robert Murray reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hundley is ready to move on from his playing days after appearing in just 31 big-league games in 2019 and slashing .200/.233/.357. The 36-year-old backstop played with five teams across 12 seasons, finishing with a career .247/.299/.405 triple-slash and 93 home runs in 974 games.

Hundley was released by the Phillies on Friday, Tom Housenick of The Morning Call reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hundley agreed to a minor-league deal with Philadelphia on Aug. 12, but he'll head back to the open market after hitting just .125 over 12 games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Hundley signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Monday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hundley hit just .200 with a .590 OPS in 31 games with the Athletics earlier in the year before being designated for assignment and subsequently released. The veteran backstop will report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, though he could get a look as the team's backup catcher down the stretch with Andrew Knapp currently hitting just .190 through 57 games.

The Athletics released Hundley on Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rather than asking him to report to their Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas, the Athletics elected to allow Hundley to pursue opportunities outside the organization after he recently went unclaimed off waivers. Hundley only managed a .200/.233/.357 batting line in 31 games with Oakland prior to being cut, but his 10-plus years of MLB experience should help the 35-year-old find work with another organization in need of catching depth.

The Athletics activated Hundley (knee) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and subsequently designated him for assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Though Hundley is healthy again after missing over a month of action following arthroscopic knee surgery, the Athletics no longer had room for him with Josh Phegley and Chris Herrmann locked in as the team's top two catchers. The Athletics will shop Hundley around for a potential trade, but he'll be exposed to the waiver wire in the event Oakland can't find a suitor. Given that Hundley has accrued more than five years of MLB service time, he'll be able to refuse a minor-league assignment and explore his options elsewhere even if no other organization trades for him or claims him off waivers.

Hundley (knee) went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and two runs while playing all nine innings at catcher during High-A Stockton's combined no-hitter against Rancho Cucamonga on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

It was the third straight day Hundley played all nine innings, with the veteran catcher sandwiching a pair of full stints behind the dish around full-time designated hitter duties Sunday. If Monday ultimately turns out to be the 35-year-old's final appearance with the Ports, it was a memorable one -- Hundley captained the combined no-no put together by Bryce Conley, Eric Martinez and Jake Bray.

Hundley (knee) played all nine innings at catcher for High-A Stockton on Saturday, going 0-for-4 in a loss to Rancho Cucamonga.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop had gotten the day off Friday after serving as the designated hitter Thursday, and Saturday marked the first time during his five-game rehab assignment that he's played a full game behind the dish. It remains to be seen if Hundley will be asked to repeat the feat Sunday, or if the Athletics saw enough with Saturday's game to make a decision on his status.

Hundley (knee) started at designated hitter for High-A Stockton against Lancaster on Thursday and went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run while playing all nine innings.

EDGE Analysis

It was Hundley's second rehab game with the Ports, and Thursday's DH duty followed seven innings of playing behind the dish Wednesday. So far, so good for the veteran catcher in what is thus far a four-game rehab stint, and he'll likely up his participation to a full game at catcher in the coming days.

Hundley (knee) went 0-for-4 while playing seven innings at catcher for High-A Stockton in a win over Lancaster on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop was playing his first rehab game with the Ports, but his third overall after logging a pair of appearances with the Athletics' Arizona League team. Hundley is presumably working up to eventually catching a full nine innings before activation is considered.

Hundley (knee) will start a rehab assignment with High-A Stockton on Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hundley will play seven innings for the Ports in his third rehab game since landing on the injured list in early June. The 35-year-old will likely need to advance to catching a full nine innings before rejoining the Athletics since he is coming off arthroscopic knee surgery.
