J.J. Hardy starts rehab assignment

J.J. Hardy played 15 innings combined on Monday and Tuesday for Triple-A Norfolk in his first game action since June 19.

Fantasy Impact:

It's been over two months since Hardy was placed on the DL with a right wrist fracture, however coach Showalter is noncommittal on a return date. Speaking of J.J.'s return, Showalter said, "so many things can change. It could be five days away. It could be two weeks away. Who knows?" Even when the coach knows, the next decision won't be easy. Hardy's replacement, Tim Beckham, has been a superstar in his absence, sporting a spectacular .417/.437/.738 line since joining the O's. Don't expect Hardy to automatically win his job back.
