LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Todd Hundley today was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a non-displaced fracture of his right thumb.

The move to place Hundley on the DL is retroactive to July 9.

Hundley, 31, injured his throwing hand when a foul ball clipped his thumb on July 7 against Seattle. He served as the designated hitter the next day but has not played since.

It is the second stint on the DL this season for Hundley, who was sidelined from May 31-June 26 with a strained right oblique muscle. In 46 games this season, Hundley is batting .316 with 17 homers and 43 RBI.

Hundley set a major league home run record for catchers with 41 for the Mets in 1996. The following season, he had 30 homers and 86 RBI before undergoing reconstructive elbow surgery in September.

Hundley appeared in only 53 games for New York in 1998 and batted .161 with three homers and 12 RBI. He was sent to Los Angeles in a four-player trade following the season and hit .207 with 24 homers and 55 RBI in his first year on the West Coast.

To take Hundley's spot on the roster, the Dodgers recalled righthander Mike Judd from Triple-A Albuquerque of the Pacific Coast League. Judd was 4-4 with a 4.74 ERA in 16 games, including 15 starts for Albuquerque.
