Bell went 3-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 13-8 loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

There was plenty of offense to go around in this one, and Bell got in on the action with his third three-hit day of the season. The 25-year-old has been an on-base machine since sliding down to sixth in the order, reaching base safely in 11 of 16 plate appearances in that four game span. It's possible he'll move back up to cleanup at some point, but manager Clint Hurdle may be hesitant to tinker with Bell's new spot if it seems to be working.

Bell went 1-for-1 with three walks and scored one run against the Cubs on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

He's reached base five times in seven plate appearances since moving from cleanup to the sixth spot in the batting order. Pittsburgh's options are limited and Bell will likely move back to hitting fourth, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him do well right now with less pressure on him. Manager Clint Hurdle said Sunday that it seemed like Bell was trying to hit a three-run homer in every plate appearance. The fact that he's walked four times in two games while batting sixth is a good sign.

Bell will be moved from the cleanup spot "until further notice" according to manager Clint Hurdle, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

During Saturday's game against the Cubs, Bell will be batting sixth and manning first base as he looks to break out of a little slump after starting the month 1-for-20. Hurdle added that this will not be a one day swap and that he wants to see Bell find success outside of his typical cleanup position.

Bell is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bell will take a seat on the bench after going 1-for-5 with a double and one RBI during Thursday's contest versus the Dodgers. In his place, David Freese will man first base.

Bell is out of the lineup versus the Dodgers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bell will head to the bench after going 0-for-12 over the past three games. As he looks to clear his head, David Freese will get a start at first base while batting sixth in the order.

Bell went 0-for-4 against the Dodgers on Tuesday and is batting .160 in his last 50 at-bats since May 20.

EDGE Analysis

The first baseman has totaled only four homers and 32 RBI in 214 at-bats despite batting fourth in the lineup for all of 2018. Surprisingly, the switch-hitter is struggling against right-handed pitching, slashing just .235/.310/.367 after compiling a line of .259/.342/.470 in 2017. Bell's OPS has dropped year-over year (.800 to .695) while his .133 ISO mirrors his 2016 mark -- well off last season's .211 ISO. Bell has played in 59 of Pittsburgh's first 60 games, and while he might be due for a day off, the team will likely continue to roll with the first baseman on an every-day basis.

Bell is out of the lineup Thursday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Bell played all 12 innings of Wednesday's 5-4 victory, so he'll get a well-deserved breather in the series finale. David Freese will handle first base with Bell on the bench and hit third Thursday.

Bell went 2-for-4 with an RBI single against the Padres on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The window to buy low on Bell may have closed. After hitting just .217 in April, the first baseman has lifted his season slash line to .269/.345/.410, courtesy of a .364 batting average (16-for-44) in May. The 25-year-old has hit exclusively from the cleanup spot, driving in 26 runs -- second on the team behind Corey Dickerson (28 RBI).

Bell is out of the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

With a lefty (Hector Santiago) on the mound for Chicago and the Pirates playing a day game after a night game, Pittsburgh skipper Clint Hurdle decided it was a good time to give the lefty-hitting Bell a breather. Jose Osuna will take over at first base and hit cleanup Wednesday.

Bell went 2-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Bell got off to a slow start this season but seems to finally be heating up. He held a .232 average at the end up April but has worked that figure up to a more respectable .258 mark after Tuesday's two-hit performance. Through 12 games in May, the first baseman is hitting .333 (13-for-39) with four doubles, two homers and eight RBI.
