This is fine.
Nick Castellanos took a pitch to the wrist at the dawn of the series against the Milwaukee Brewers, and has been mostly sidelined since. It’s no coincidence that the Cincinnati Reds have gone sideways since then, either, seeing as Nick has been their most consistent player throughout the season.
Hell, were it not his right (throwing) wrist, it might even been worth the Reds while to try him as a reliever while he recovers.
Recovers is the key word here, of course.
