Baltimore Orioles: J.J. Hardy Leaves Game With Back Spasms

After suffering a number of injuries this season, Baltimore Orioles shortstopJ.J. Hardyadded to that list on Labor Day. According to the Orioles official Twitter account, Hardy left the game against the Minnesota Twins with back spasms.

In Hardy’s absence, the O’s have been put in the unfortunate position of starting utility manRyan Flahertyin almost every game. That is not something the team wants to occur.

However, if Hardy is to continue to be baffled by injuries, then this will have to take place.

The one piece of good news that comes out of this is that some of the Orioles’ veteran bench players will see more playing time.

With first basemanChris Davislikely staying at third,Steve Pearcewill play at first. OutfieldersDelmon Youngand newly-acquiredAlejandro De Azaare also looking for some more playing time, but this injury won’t have too much of an effect on them.
