Bell is not in the lineup for Friday's game at Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Bell started the past 22 games and will take a seat Friday after he posted a .787 OPS with three home runs and nine RBI during that span. Jorge Alfaro will bat sixth as the designated hitter Friday.

Bell went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Bell got the Padres within a run on his seventh-inning solo shot. It was his first long ball since Aug. 21, and he'd gone five games without an RBI. The 30-year-old first baseman has maintained a .276/.369/.451 slash line with 17 homers, 67 RBI, 71 runs scored, 28 doubles and three triples through 567 plate appearances between the Padres and the Nationals.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a base hit and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Bell will take a six-game hitting streak and three-game RBI streak into Wednesday's series finale in San Francisco. He'll start at first base and bat cleanup as the Padres go for the three-game sweep.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 2-1 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Bell accounted for both Padres runs in the contest with a two-run blast to right field in the sixth inning. Bell went hitless in his first two contests of the four-game set against his former club, but he homered in each of the final two games of the series. He appears to be emerging from a slump that saw him go 7-for-58 over his first 16 contests with San Diego.

Bell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday in a 2-1 victory versus the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Bell has struggled mightily since joining the Padres in a trade with the Nationals on Aug. 2, batting .131 over 61 at-bats. He showed signs of life against his ex-club Saturday, accounting for the Padres' first run of the contest with a 415-foot solo shot in the fifth inning. Amidst his struggles, Bell has been both striking out and walking at acceptable rates, so there's reason to believe he'll bust out of the slump soon.

EDGE Analysis

Bell is 1-for-30 over the past seven games and will head to the bench Friday for the first time since being acquired by the Padres at the trade deadline. Wil Myers will enter the lineup at first base and bat sixth.

Bell went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and two walks in Wednesday's victory over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Bell has seen some struggles at the plate since being traded to San Diego at the deadline. His OPS since then sits at .644 over 32 plate appearances. However, when playing in his new home stadium his OPS jumps up to .851. Time will tell how significant these trends are as Bell settles into his new home, but it's reasonable to expect him to bounce back eventually.

Bell went 0-for-2 with two walks and two runs in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Each of San Diego's three offensive trade-deadline acquisitions -- Bell, Juan Soto and Brandon Drury -- who played in the contest reached base multiple times, though Bell was the only one among them who didn't record a hit. Still, he made an impact by drawing two free passes and scoring twice. Bell figures to settle into an everyday role at first base for the Padres and is enjoying a solid season with a .300/.385/.491 slash line, 14 homers and 57 RBI.

The Padres acquired Bell and Juan Soto from the Nationals on Tuesday in exchange for first baseman Luke Voit, shortstop CJ Abrams, outfielder Robert Hassell, outfielder James Wood, left-hander MacKenzie Gore (elbow) and right-hander Jarlin Susana, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bell may not be the headliner in the deal, but he's certainly no throw-in, having posted an .877 OPS and hitting 14 home runs over 103 games with the Nationals this season. The Padres moving Voit to Washington and Eric Hosmer in a separate deal with Boston, Bell should be the leading candidate to step in as the Friars' everyday first baseman. He's not expected to arrive in San Diego until Wednesday, so Bell won't be available to make his Padres debut in either game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Rockies.

Bell went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Bell put Washington on the board in the top of the first inning, when he grounded out to third base to score Victor Robles. He added an insurance run in the top of the ninth with a sacrifice fly, giving him his 13th multi-RBI game of the season. Bell will remain in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, manning first base and batting cleanup.
