TORONTO -- Shortstop J.J. Hardy is due to return to the Orioles' lineup on Tuesday.
Hardy, who's been sidelined with a strained left groin, has been taking batting practice with the Orioles and should be ready to return to the field during the team's upcoming road series against the Yankees. Hardy is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list for the second game of the set.
"We're all looking forward to getting J.J. back," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said before Saturday afternoon's game against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
Hardy received a platelet-rich plasma injection in Baltimore last week, and he has been doing light baseball activities.
