Hardy (shoulder) took live batting practice Wednesday, MASN Sports reports.
Analysis:
If Hardy's shoulder responds well to the session Wednesday, he'll likely be sent on a rehab assignment Friday at Double-A Bowie. The veteran shortstop indicated he doesn't expect to require many at-bats in the minors before returning to the big league club, so his return from the disabled list seems plausible at some point next week.
