Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
With Manny Machado getting a rare day out of the field and handling designated hitter duties in the series finale, Bell will sit for the second time in three games. Since being acquired Aug. 2 from the Nationals, Bell has turned in a underwhelming .203/.313/.301 in 40 games. He may have to fight with Wil Myers for one spot in the Padres' everyday lineup over the final two and a half weeks of the season.

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.
