Bell is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Bell was a fixture in the Nationals' lineup for the last 23 games, so he'll get a deserved breather. He hit well in that span, logging a .310/.423/.609 line with seven home runs, 18 RBI and 11 runs scored across 104 plate appearances. Ryan Zimmerman will start at first base in Bell's absence.
