He was then drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 14th round of the 2009 MLB Draft and signed.

Detroit Tigers

In May 2016, Bell was traded to the Detroit Tigers for Bobby Wilson.[1] The Tigers added him to their 40-man roster after the season.[2]

Bell was called up to the Tigers on May 1, 2017.[3] Bell would end up pitching in 28 games after being called up two more times in 2017.

On April 12, 2018, the Tigers called up Bell to help in the bullpen.[4] He was optioned back to Toledo eight days later.[5] He was called up again on April 30, 2018, but sent down four days later after giving up five runs in his lone appearance out of the bullpen.[6] On May 12, 2018, the Tigers designated Bell for assignment, removing him from the 40-man roster.[7]
