Hundley (neck) has been placed on the 60-day disabled list, Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports.

Hundley (neck) underwent an MRI on Wednesday that revealed the catcher is dealing with a cervical strain, the Associated Press reports. He's expected to be out for at least three-to-four days.

Those who roster Hundley in two-catcher leagues have been fortunate to benefit from the backstop's surprising .301 batting average and 10 homers this season, but with the calendar winding down, it may be time to consider dropping him for a healthier option. With the Rockies firmly removed from playoff contention, the team has little incentive of rushing Hundley back to action, making it wise to bet the over on that three-to-four day recovery timetable. Dustin Garneau is expected to serve as the Rockies' regular option behind the plate until Hundley is cleared to play again.
