Philadelphia Phillies catcher Nick Hundley might not be on the roster until September, but he should make an impact with the team. It's unclear if the team wants to keep three catchers now or send current backup Andrew Knapp to the minors. Hundley was signed to a minor league deal by the Phillies on Monday. He hit .200/.233/.357 with two home runs in 37 games with the Oakland Athletics earlier in the season. He won't see enough playing time to be relevant in fantasy leagues.
Oakland Athletics catcher Nick Hundley (back, knee) was able to catch a bullpen session on Thursday morning. It was the first time he was able to do so since hitting the 10-day injured list after dealing with backs spasms and a minor cleanup procedure in his knee. Hundley said the session went well and he feels he'll be able to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment within the next 10 days. Hundley will return to find Josh Phegley and Chris Herrmann behind the dish in Oakland, so it might be getting pretty crowded. The A's are likely to deal one of the backstops at the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
The Oakland Athletics placed catcher Nick Hundley (back) on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with back spasms and recalled catcher Beau Taylor from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Hundley didn't have any fantasy value to begin with as the backup to Josh Phegley while hitting just .200/.233/.357 with two homers and five RBI in 73 plate appearances. He was injured in Game 1 of the doubleheader on Saturday. Taylor, 29, was hitting .297/.450/.492 with five homers and 20 RBI in 38 games for Las Vegas and will serve as the backup to Phegley with Hundley sidelined in the short term.
The Oakland Athletics signed free-agent catcher Nick Hundley to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training on Monday. The 35-year-old served as the backup in San Francisco the last two seasons and hit .241/.298/.408 with 10 home runs and 31 RBI in 282 at-bats in 2018. He should share backup duties with Chris Herrmann behind the plate when Josh Phegley needs a day off.
San Francisco Giants catcher Nick Hundley (head) is in the concussion protocol but will take batting practice on Thursday. If he's not cleared, he'll be put on the seven-day concussion disabled list and catcher Aramis Garcia will be called up from the minors. Hundley is one of the better backup catchers, hitting .241 with nine home runs and 26 RBI in 174 at-bats.
San Francisco Giants backup catcher Nick Hundley is starting Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks in place of Buster Posey. Hundley only has 17 at-bats in the past two weeks and is hitting .235 through them. He is set to face Zack Godley on Sunday, who sports a 2.89 ERA when playing at home, is tougher on righties than lefties, and has pitched a lot better over his last few starts. Hundley meanwhile is batting .221 against right handed pitching with a .661 OPS and 22 strikeouts in 68 at-bats. It is not a good matchup for the veteran journeyman and he should be left on the waiver wire.
San Francisco Giants catcher Nick Hundley homered and drove in four runs in Saturday's loss to the Washington Nationals. Hundley clubbed a three-run shot in the third inning and followed up with an RBI double in the seventh, finishing the afternoon 2-for-5. Hundley plays sparingly but has gone yard seven times in 103 plate appearances and holds a respectable .273 average. However, due to his lack of playing time, there are probably better season-long fantasy options at the backstop position.
The San Francisco Giants re-signed catcher Nick Hundley on Tuesday. This one is no surprise, as bothHundleyand the Giants had mutual interest. The Giants like his veteran leadership and defense behind the plate, and he had a nice year for the club offensively last year. He hit .244 with nine home runs in 101 games in 2017. The deal will be for one year.
Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area has reported that the Giants are hoping to complete a deal with Nick Hundley to remain their backup catcher. Hundley, 33, had a solid year for the Giants last year and is a popular member of the clubhouse. He hit .244 with nine home runs in 287 at-bats this past season.
Impending free-agent catcher Nick Hundley would welcome a return to the San Francisco Giants. Hundley has quietly been a bargain pickup for the club when he signed for $2 million this past offseason. Manager Bruce Bochy likes having a veteran to rest Buster Posey and Hundley has for that bill. For the season Hundley has hit .251 with nine home runs and 34 RBI. Well respected by both his manager and the locker room it looks like both sides will try to make something work.
