Amid J.J. Hardy's slew of injuries, Manny Machado played some shortstop. Maybe that should be made into a permanent switch.
The struggles of Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy this season have been well documented. In fact, I wrote about it around a month ago. The 33-year-old has had injury troubles and is in the midst of the worst offensive year of his life. However, on Sunday, ESPN's Buster Olney tweeted a statistic that surprised me quite a bit.
ELIAS: When J.J. Hardy has played in games this season, the Orioles are 53-44.
