Josh Bell Getting Rest Tuesday
2 years agoCleveland Guardians first baseman/designated hitter Josh Bell isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Oakland Athletics, according to MLB.com. Instead, Josh Naylor will move to DH, and Gabriel Arias will bat sixth and play first base. The club probably made the decision based on the pitching on the other side, as left-hander JP Sears takes the bump. Bell owns a .768 OPS against lefties versus a .829 OPS against righties during his career. Arias, 23, has just 20 Major League games to his resume and owns a .192/.311/.327 lifetime slash line, making him not much of a fantasy option.
