Diamondbacks' Josh Bell: Back in lineup Sunday
Bell will start at first base and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Astros.
Bell was on the bench for the first two games of the series, but he'll move back into the starting nine for the finale while Ketel Marte and Christian Walker get the evening off. Though Marte should eventually reclaim a full-time role at second base after being eased back in the lineup at designated hitter in the previous two contests, Arizona likely won't have room in the lineup for Bell against right-handed pitching while Walker and Joc Pederson occupy first base and the DH spot, respectively. Bell should at least replace the lefty-hitting Pederson in the lineup when the Diamondbacks face left-handed pitching.

Diamondbacks' Josh Bell: Slides to DH
Bell served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 8-7 win over San Francisco.
Bell, who had been the primary first baseman for the last month, moved to DH as Christian Walker returned to first base after being activated off the 10-day injured list. Bell acquitted himself well as a replacement, batting .283 with an .809 OPS over 28 games, and should see work as the DH against left-handers going forward.

Diamondbacks' Josh Bell: Absent from starting lineup

Diamondbacks' Josh Bell: Racks up three hits in loss
Bell went 3-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-9 loss to the Dodgers.
Since receiving a day off Aug. 19, Bell has gone 12-for-33 (.364) over his last nine contests. He's picked up three RBI and scored six runs in that span, but all 12 of those hits have been singles -- the first baseman doesn't have an extra-base hit since a double Aug. 13. For the year, Bell is slashing .246/.314/.408 with 18 home runs, 61 RBI, 55 runs scored and 22 doubles over 129 contests between Arizona and Miami.

Diamondbacks' Josh Bell: Getting night off
Bell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Bell will take a seat for the first time since joining the Diamondbacks, giving way to Pavin Smith at first base. Bell had started 16 consecutive games for Arizona, going 15-for-64 (.234) with four homers. However, he's 0-for-14 in his last four games.

Diamondbacks' Josh Bell: Homers twice in nightcap
Bell went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three total RBI in a 5-3 win over Cleveland in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Bell now has nine home runs in his last 12 games, including four in five contests since joining the D-Backs. Overall, the 31-year-old first baseman is slashing .241/.306/.420 this season across 469 plate appearances between Arizona and Miami. Bell should continue to see regular at-bats with Christian Walker (oblique) likely sidelined until late August.

Diamondbacks' Josh Bell: Makes splashy debut
Bell started at first base, batted fourth and went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Friday's 9-8 win over Pittsburgh.
Bell, who was making his debut for the Diamondbacks, homered in his first plate appearance as part of a five-run first inning. He later tied the game at 7-7 with a solo shot in the seventh. Bell was acquired Tuesday immediately after the Diamondbacks learned starting first baseman Christian Walker (oblique) would miss an estimated three weeks, but Bell's role after Walker returns is uncertain with Joc Pederson boasting a .921 OPS this season as the primary DH against right-handed pitching.

Diamondbacks' Josh Bell: Acquired by Arizona
The Diamondbacks acquired Bell from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
The acquisition of Bell would seem to indicate that the Diamondbacks expect to be without everyday first baseman Christian Walker for a while after Walker suffered an oblique injury in Monday's 9-8 win over the Nationals. While Bell has posted a mediocre .699 OPS on the season, he's been sizzling at the plate of late with six home runs over his last 12 contests. The Marlins will cover approximately $3.25 million of the $5.5 million remaining on Bell's $16.5 million salary for 2024 as part of the trade, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic.
