maddon says he's not playing tonight To piggyback on that, we're facing a lefty, he shouldn't play whether the wrist hurts or not. He has a near 1.000 OPS vs Niese in 31 PAs, so he should be playing against him if healthy. Also he's so good defensively he shouldn't be sitting, "because lefties." Sure if they want to give him an off day it would be preferable that it's a game against a LHP, but he should rarely be sitting if he's healthy.
