NEW YORK -- Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy will be activated from the 15-day disabled list for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, giving him the expected minimum stay.
"[He was] probably a go about yesterday, but he needed this period, I think," manager Buck Showalter said of Hardy. "He's got a lot of physical issues that he's got behind him now, I hope. He's ready to go tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting him back."
Hardy was disappointed that he wasn't able to avoid the DL, but he acknowledged that there was a risk of him re-aggravating the groin injury.
