SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy said his left shoulder is more sore this morning after slamming it into the ground yesterday while diving for a ground ball.

Hardy will rest today - he wasn't scheduled to make the trip to Tampa - and be re-evaluated on Sunday. He took his first anti-inflammatory pill and joked that he tried to finally make it through an entire spring without one.

Hardy said the injury wasn't caused by his collision with second baseman Jonathan Schoop, "so don't blame Schoopy."

Schoop remains in today's lineup against the Yankees. Ryan Flaherty is starting at shortstop and Travis Snider is in right field.

The Snider search has ended.
