Josh Bell Getting a Day Off
Washington Nationals first baseman/designated hitter Josh Bell will start Wednesday's series finale against the San Diego Padres on the bench at Petco Park. James Wood will serve as the DH and hit second, with Alex Call starting in left field and batting sixth against Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta. Bell still has plenty of pop, but his long swing causes a lot of swing and miss, and he's hitting just .194 (46-for-237) on the year with 10 home runs, 28 RBI and 23 runs scored. The 32-year-old switch-hitter has been slightly better in June, going 15-for-68 (.221) with a homer, three doubles, six RBI, four runs scored, four walks and six strikeouts in 19 games played. Wood is a must-start in normal fantasy leagues every time he's in the lineup. Call, who has been the odd man out in right field due to rookie Daylen Lile's presence, will make his first start since last Friday.
