A’s Medical Update on Catcher Nick Hundley

June 18th, 2019

OAKLAND -- The Oakland A’s have released the following medical update on catcher Nick Hundley.

Hundley had successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee today with Dr. Jon Dickinson at Presidio Surgical Center in San Francisco. Dr. Dickinson performed a medial meniscectomy procedure on his left knee to clean up a tear within the medial meniscus.

Hundley was having symptomatic issues with his knee for the past two months with no limitations to his playing capacity, and the current injury to his lumbar spine gave the club an opportunity to address the knee issue, which would allow him to recover from both injuries simultaneously.

Nick is resting comfortably and will return to the club tomorrow to begin his rehab work on his knee and continue his rehab work on his lumbar spine. There is no timetable to share with either injury at this time until he is back to baseball activities.

Hundley has been on the 10-day injured list with back spasms since June 8 after exiting the first game of that day’s doubleheader in the fourth inning. He is hitting .200 (14-for-70) this season with two home runs and five RBI in 31 games. Hundley, who signed with Oakland as a minor league free agent this offseason, was on the A’s Opening Day roster and has made 23 starts.
