Hardy is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a .579 OPS on the season, Hardy has been one of the worst-performing regulars in baseball, but he's at least turned the corner recently with three two-hit performances in his last five starts. While he'll give way at shortstop to Paul Janish on Sunday, Hardy still seems fairly secure in an everyday role at the position.
