Hardy injured the wrist on a slide into third base on May 4. He will be eligible to come off the DL on May 20, for the final game of the Twins' series at Boston.
Tolbert, who played third base for the Twins down the stretch last year, was batting .232 for Rochester.
Pablo López completed six innings with a 3-1 lead, and Griffin Jax rescued him from a bases-loaded jam in the seventh, but Cleveland rebounded to move to 7½ games ahead of the Twins.
