Bell went 1-for-3 with a walk in Monday's victory over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Bell went 0-for-4 at the dish in Saturday's twin bill, but he managed to walk in the third inning and singled to center in the sixth during Monday's series opener. He's now 9-for-36 with a home run and two RBI in June (12 games).

Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Bell typically starts against right-handed pitching, but he'll be on the bench Sunday even with righty Johnny Cueto on the bump for San Francisco. Bell had previously sat out the second half of Saturday's doubleheader when the Giants had a lefty (Conner Menez) lead off a bullpen game, so the first baseman will be sitting for the second game in a row. Ryan Zimmerman gets another start in Bell's stead.

EDGE Analysis

Bell went 0-for-3 in the first game of the day. Ryan Zimmerman will take over at first base in the nightcap.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a home run in Saturday's loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Bell socked a solo shot in the eighth inning off reliever Jose Alvarado, but that would be everything he'd do in a game where the Nationals struggled badly on offense. The slugging first baseman has gone deep eight times this season and has hit safely in four of his last six games -- a span in which he has notched two of his eight long balls.

Bell will sit Thursday against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Bell finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games and the third time in six contests. His .668 OPS, which is a near match for his .669 OPS from last season, doesn't exactly make a strong case for him earning everyday at-bats. Ryan Zimmerman will start at first base in his absence versus Atlanta lefty Tucker Davidson.

Bell is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Braves, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bell, who's hitting just .103 against lefty pitchers this season, sits against Atlanta's Max Fried. After a hot stretch that lasted nearly two weeks, the switch hitter is just 1-for-14 in his last five games. Ryan Zimmerman fills in at first base Tuesday.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The first baseman got Washington on the board in the fourth inning with his seventh homer of the year. Bell has added 22 RBI, 27 runs scored and a .207/.268/.400 slash line across 153 plate appearances. His homer Monday snapped an 0-for-11 skid at the plate.

Bell will sit for the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bell went 0-for-3 in the day's first game, dropping his batting average to .212. Ryan Zimmerman will take over at first base in his absence.

Bell went 2-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Bell kept the Reds in the game with a ninth-inning blast off reliever Amir Garrett, but it wasn't enough to keep the Nationals in the game. The slugging first baseman has two homers over his last five appearances, a span in which he's hit safely four times while recording three multi-hit contests.

Bell is not starting Saturday's game against the Orioles, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The switch hitter receives a day off after enjoying a 3-for-5 performance Friday with an RBI and a run scored to boot. Hitting .370 in his last seven games, Bell may have turned a corner offensively after struggling at the plate for much of the season thus far.
