Joshua Bell: Breaking News
Resting in series finale
Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. After starting in each of the Twins' last eight games, Bell will rest Sunday while Minnesota wraps up its series against Toronto with a day game. Byron Buxton will get a day off from playing center field and will occupy Bell's usual spot at designated hitter.
Taking seat Friday
Bell is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays. The veteran slugger started the previous 16 games and will receive a day off after posting a .267/.333/.350 slash line during that span. Byron Buxton is resting his legs as the designated hitter in Bell's absence, which opens up center field for Austin Martin.
