The Marlins are placing Bell on waivers Sunday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bell remains in the lineup at first base for Sunday's contest against the Brewers, so it doesn't appear he'll be going anywhere quite yet. The Marlins may simply be gauging interest in the veteran slugger, who has posted a .239/.303/.396 slash line with 14 homers in 103 games this year. Bell has shown signs of life at the plate recently and has homered in four consecutive games and has multiple hits in five straight. A $16.5 million salary for this season remains a major hurdle to the 31-year-old being moved, either via trade or waivers.
