Hardy (back) is in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports. Hardy said earlier Friday morning that he was feeling much better, and he'll return to the lineup for the first time in a week. His return spells the end of Ryan Flaherty's cameo as the starting shortstop.
