The Orioles, hit hard by injuries this season, are now set to be without veteran shortstop J.J. Hardy, who is headed to the disabled list with a fractured right wrist after getting hit by a pitch Sunday.
Hardy, 34, had an X-ray after leaving Sunday’s game. Just like last year, when he suffered a fractured foot on a foul ball, the X-ray showed it was more than a bruise.
A CT scan Monday revealed non-displaced fracture of a small bone in his wrist, Hard said. He will need 4-6 weeks of rest to allow the bone to heal before he can resume baseball activities.
