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.

Bell went 3-for-4 with a triple, a run and two RBI in a 6-3 loss to Atlanta on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bell singled in the second inning, tripled home a run and scored in the fourth and notched an RBI single in the sixth. The 29-year-old has been scorching over the last three games against Atlanta, going 8-for-13 with two doubles, a triple and a home run to bring his season line to .311/.389/.506 with 13 home runs, 47 runs and 50 RBI.

Bell went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

He took Kyle Wright deep in the bottom of the first inning for his 13th long ball of the season, but the Nationals were already in a 2-0 hole. Bell snapped a brief nine-game homer drought in which he's hit only .135 (5-for-37) with zero RBI, but on the year he still sports a .300/.380/.488 slash line, with the batting average and OBP both tracking to be career bests.

Bell went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, two runs and a strikeout in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals were unable to generate any runs over the first six innings of Sunday's matchup, but Bell hit a go-ahead homer in the bottom of the eighth inning. Although the team was unable to pick up the win, the 29-year-old now has 10 extra-base hits over the last nine games, and he's hit .531 with a homer, a triple, seven doubles, seven runs and three RBI during that time.

Bell went 3-for-3 with two doubles, two walks and two runs scored Wednesday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Bell reached base in all of his plate appearances, highlighted by a pair of extra-base hits. He's riding an eight-game hitting streak and has at least one knock in 11 of his last 12 starts. That's continued an impressive season for Bell, as he's maintained a .319 average with 11 home runs, 42 runs scored and 46 RBI across 323 plate appearances.

Bell went 3-for-5 with an RBI-double and two runs scored in a 6-4 win over the Rangers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The three-hit performance lifted Bell's average to .308 on the season and the first baseman now has 46 RBI and 40 runs scored. He has shown dramatically improved contact skills in the first half of 2022, and his average on the season is over 50 points higher than his season-long number in 2021. Bell's power numbers don't rival the best corner infielders in the game, but an average over .300 while hitting in between the likes of Juan Soto and Nelson Cruz will bode well for his counting stats.

Bell went 3-for-6 with three homers, three walks, five RBI and four runs scored across both halves of Friday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals lost both games, but Bell certainly did all he could to prevent that. He homered off Ranger Suarez in Game 1 and took Bailey Falter deep twice in Game 2. Bell has traditionally fared far better against righties than lefties, so to see him take southpaws deep three times in one day was quite impressive. He's now homered four times in the first three games of this five-game series.
