Bell is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
There has been nothing to suggest his absence is due to injury. Perhaps manager Clint Hurdle just felt Bell could use a mental break after back-to-back 0-for-4, two-strikeout games. Overall, Bell's counting stats this season leave something to be desired, but he's slugging .446 and his defense has been better than expected.
