Bell left Friday's game against the Cubs due to left groin discomfort, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Pirates will consider Bell day-to-day moving forward, though there'll be no need to push their star first baseman back into action at this point in the season, considering Pittsburgh is out of the playoff picture.

Bell left Friday's game against the Cubs with an unspecified injury, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bell appeared to suffer the injury while on the basepaths, and he walked off the field slowly, per Berry. Jose Osuna moved to first base following Bell's removal from the contest.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday in the Pirates' 5-4 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Bell's 37th long ball of the season cut the Pirates' deficit to one in the eighth inning before Giants reliever Shaun Anderson came on to record the final four outs of the night without much drama. Though Bell has seen his prolific power pace slow down in the last couple of months, he's maintained his typical strong plate discipline, reaching base at a .357 clip and striking out in only 17.8 percent of his plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Bell will head to the bench for Monday's game against San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Bell is in line for another day off after also taking a seat for Sunday's series finale. Jose Osuna will get the nod at first base and bat cleanup.

Bell is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Bell started the last 11 games and has a .999 OPS with three homers in that stretch, but he'll take the day off Sunday. Jose Osuna will start at first base and bat fifth in his absence.

Bell went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 12-3 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Bell's 34th long ball of the season was an opposite-field shot off Vince Velasquez and allowed him to overtake Washington's Anthony Rendon for sole possession of second place in the National League RBI race (106). Though his power production since the All-Star break has dropped off dramatically from his boffo first half, Bell has at least started surging lately with three home runs in his last five games.

Bell went 1-for-1 with a solo homer and two walks in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Bell entered the game as a pinch-hitter for starter Joe Musgrove in the seventh inning and was intentionally walked. He then took Hector Neris deep to tie the game in the ninth inning. The breakout slugger is up to 33 homers and 104 RBI alongside a .938 OPS.

Bell is not in the lineup Monday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Bell has been slumping quite a bit lately, hitting .105/.222/.211 over his last 11 games, though his .273/.358/.569 season line remains quite strong. He'll take a seat Monday, with Jose Osuna starting at first base.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two runs in a 14-0 victory against the Reds on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hitting .226 this month, Bell is somewhat limping to the finish line, but he still has 72 extra-base hits and 102 RBI this year. If he can get out of his funk, Bell can still lead the National League in RBI. He is batting .275 with 32 home runs and 86 runs in 465 at-bats this season.

Bell went 1-for-4 against Washington on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

He had been hitless in his last 12 at-bats, going four games without a hit for the first time in 2019. Bell batted .474 with four homers and nine RBI in a five-game stretch last week but has fallen off once again. The first baseman is 1-for-8 in his career against Tuesday's starter Stephen Strasburg. Bell still leads the National League with 36 doubles and is tied for first in RBI (98), along with Eduardo Escobar and Freddie Freeman.
