Bell is out of the lineup Monday against the Cardinals, MLB.com's Adam Berry reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight day, Bell will occupy a bench role while John Jaso settles in as the starter at first base. Bell has been in a bit of a slump over his past five games with a 1-for-16 showing at the plate, but since he's performed generally well during his brief time in the big leagues, don't expect the Pirates to give up on him as a regular starter just yet.
