EDGE Analysis

Hardy (wrist) went 0-for-3 with a walk during his first live action since going down on June 18. With such a long layoff, the O's will take is slow with the shortstop, and the team has no reason to rush the process considering the fine play of Tim Beckham. Hardy will see quite of bit of minor-league at-bats before returning to the big-league club in early September.
