Milwaukee Brewers shortstop J.J. Hardy could return to the lineup on Tuesday after battling with a sore shoulder.

Hardy’s shoulder has been feeling better and manager Ned Yost said he was available to pinch-hit over the weekend had he been needed.

The shortstop has had a very disappointing season thus far and has been just one of the many reasons the Brewers have gotten off to a poor start.

The team is hoping Hardy, among others, will pick it up in the second half of the season.
