Twins' Blaine Hardy: Healthy in spring debut

Hardy (elbow) threw a scoreless inning with a strikeout in Friday's exhibition game against the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Hardy received a platelet-rich plasma injection to his left elbow in mid-August and missed the final two months of last season. It looks like he's fully healthy as spring training begins. The non-roster invitee to camp faces an uphill battle to win a spot in Minnesota's bullpen.
