Manager Buck Showalter said Hardy (wrist) will reclaim his role as the Orioles' starting shortstop upon his return from the 60-day disabled list, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Showalter quashed rumors of a potential timeshare at shortstop when Hardy returns from the disabled list following the acquisition of Tim Beckham at the deadline. The bone in Hardy's wrist has apparently healed completely, so even though he hasn't returned to baseball activities yet, the Orioles' manager thinks he'll be ready to rejoin the big club when first eligible August 18.
