Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy, who was back at Camden Yards on Friday participating in pregame activities, will be activated from the disabled list either on Saturday or Sunday, manager Buck Showalter said.
Hardy worked out before batting practice, took live BP and did regular infield drills before the Orioles’ series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday. Showalter said that depending on how Hardy responds to that, he could return from the DL as early as Saturday, or he could play one more minor rehab game at high Class-A Frederick on Saturday and be activated on Sunday.
