A few hours after the Washington Nationals announced veteran reliever Sean Doolittle was going on the 10-Day IL with a left elbow sprain, Nats’ first baseman Josh Bell left the lineup in Wednesday night’s game, between the end of the third and start of the fourth innings as his left knee acted up on him.
Bell doubled the first time up at the plate last night, though he was thrown out at home as he tried to score from third on a grounder to third base, but he returned to the field in the third, only to leave the game before the Nationals came back out for the top of the fourth.
