Bell is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Bell hit home runs in both of the first two games of the series and sports a 1.018 OPS so far in July, but he will receive a routine day off in Wednesday's matinee. Amed Rosario will fill in at designated hitter and bat third in the series finale.

Bell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Bell went 16 games without a round tripper before launching a solo homer in Monday's win, and the first baseman went yard again Tuesday with a solo shot off Chase Burns in the fourth inning. In his last 15 games, Bell is 19-for-52 (.365) with six RBI, six runs scored and a 7:10 BB:K. He's slashing .224/.314/.393 on the season.

Bell went 2-for-5 with a walk, double and a solo home run during Monday's 10-8 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Bell went deep for the first time in July, and 12th time this season, to start a three-run third inning for the Nationals. Combined with his double, it's the sixth time that the 32-year-old has had multiple hits in a game this July, despite not having a home run. Regardless, it's been a great slashing month for the slugger so far, featuring season-high's across the board of .356/.442/.444 to go along with five doubles and six RBI.

Bell is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Bell went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran switch hitter is digging his way out of an early-season hole at the plate. The three-hit performance was Bell's second in the last four games, and over his last 16 contests he's slashing .327/.377/.491 with three doubles, two homers, five runs and 11 RBI.

Bell went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Bell was productive throughout the contest, driving in runs in the first, third and eighth innings. Over his past 10 games, the 32-year-old has hit safely seven times while collecting four extra-base hits and 10 RBI. For the season, he's slashing just .204/.292/.365 with 11 home runs, 35 RBI and 26 runs scored across 288 plate appearances.

Bell is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The switch-hitting Bell will open the first game of the twin bill on the bench while the Tigers send lefty Tyler Holton to begin the contest. Bell has been far more productive against righties (92 wRC+ in 229 plate appearance) than lefties (26 wRC+ in 53 plate appearances) this season, so the Nationals could look to use him as more of a platoon player moving forward.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, two walks and three total runs scored in Friday's 15-9 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Bell was one of two Nationals limited to one hit, but he made it count, opening the scoring with a second-inning homer. He also tied the game with an RBI groundout in the fifth. The 32-year-old is 13-for-49 (.265) with four extra-base hits and eight RBI over his last 14 games. For the season, he's maintained a mediocre .194/.282/.355 slash line with 11 homers, 31 RBI, 26 runs scored, four doubles and one triple across 70 contests.

Bell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The switch-hitting Bell has received most of his days off against left-handed pitching of late, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday against a right-hander (Nick Pivetta) as the Nationals open up a spot on the lineup for Alex Call. Bell had started in each of the Nationals' last four games, going 5-for-16 with a home run to bring his OPS up to .624 for the season.

Bell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Though the switch-hitting Bell started in two of the Nationals' previous three matchups with left-handed hurlers, he'll hit the bench Monday as the Rockies send southpaw Carson Palmquist to the hill. James Wood will get a day off from playing the outfield and will assume Bell's usual duties as Washington's designated hitter.
