Josh Bell Injury Update: Washington Nationals First Baseman Likely to Play Despite Groin Injury

Josh Bell has had a tough start to the season, batting just .139 over 30 games. His performance at home is slightly better with an average of .199 and two home runs. The Nationals' upcoming game against the Cleveland Guardians at Nationals Park could see Bell back in the lineup as the designated hitter.

Nathaniel Lowe, who is first on the depth chart for first base, might see more playing time if Bell's condition worsens. Bell's recent form shows no home runs or RBIs in the last three games. His last home run came in the last 10 games, where he batted .137 with one home run and four RBIs.
