Eligibility
Josh Bell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in the Marlins' 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact
Bell's solo shot contributed crucially to the Marlins' narrow victory, but his season-long struggles at the plate continue to be a concern. With a batting average lingering at a meager .185 through 33 games, Bell's power moments like today are overshadowed by his overall lack of consistency. His .267 wOBA and low .202 BABIP suggest some bad luck, yet fantasy managers might still be wary. While the home run might reassure some, Bell's fantasy relevance remains shaky unless he can find more regular success at the plate.
Josh Bell went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in the Marlins' 5-3 defeat to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the team's loss, Bell's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his power with a home run that contributed to his modest RBI total for the season. Bell's season batting average remains underwhelming at .198, and his overall production has been less than stellar, with a low .290 wOBA and .220 BABIP indicating struggles at the plate. Fantasy managers should remain cautious; while the power display is encouraging, Bell's inconsistency this season makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
Josh Bell went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Marlins' 5-1 victory over the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
His performance included a walk and he crossed the plate twice, contributing significantly to the team's win. The 31-year-old has gotten off to a slow start at the plate, hitting a dismal .171 (7-for-41) so far this month for the Marlins. Fantasy managers will hope the slugger can recapture his power stroke while also delivering more impactful run-production in lineups as the season continues.
Josh Bell went 1-for-5 with his first homer of the season and two RBI in a defeat against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Bell, who has been struggling to find his rhythm early in the season, managed to connect for his first home run of the year, contributing two RBIs to the Marlins' effort. Bell's power has never been in question, but he has struggled with putting the ball in the air, as evidenced by his career 50.4% ground ball rate. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Bell's performance in the coming games, as he could become a valuable asset if he continues to tap into his power while improving his launch angle.
Josh Bell had a solid performance on Tuesday, going 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Marlins' 6-3 victory over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
This was a positive outing for Bell, who has struggled with consistency this season. With 20 home runs and 64 RBI on the year, Bell has shown flashes of power but has also been prone to strikeouts, as evidenced by his 112 strikeouts in 127 games played. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on Bell's performance in the coming games to see if he can build on this solid outing and provide consistent production down the stretch.
