Josh Bell

Josh Bell went 2-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Marlins' 6-2 victory over the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a crucial home run that contributed to the team's win. Despite a season batting average of .236, Bell's power at the plate remains evident with his 13th homer of the year. His ability to drive in runs (46 RBI in 102 games) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in formats that value power numbers. However, his high strikeout rate (.200) and relatively low walk rate (.074) suggest potential volatility in his performance. Fantasy managers should consider Bell a risk-reward play, depending on their team's needs for power stats versus batting average stability.

Josh Bell went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in the Marlins' 7-6 loss to the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

While Bell's power display added a spark to the lineup, his overall season performance remains a mixed bag. With a batting average of .234 and 12 homers over 101 games, Bell's production has been somewhat underwhelming, especially for fantasy managers expecting more consistent power and a higher batting average. His .296 wOBA underscores a season of struggles at the plate, and despite today's home run, Bell's limited impact in categories like stolen bases and runs scored doesn't make him a must-start. Fantasy managers should consider Bell a situational player depending on matchups and league depth.

Josh Bell went 2-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Marlins' 6-3 victory over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a crucial home run that contributed to the team's win, along with a walk, showcasing his ability to get on base. Despite a somewhat lackluster season average of .232, this game could be a sign that Bell is finding his rhythm at the plate. His power numbers are respectable, with 11 homers now on the season, but his overall production has been below expectations given his past performances. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Bell, as an uptick in his batting could make him a valuable asset down the stretch, especially if he continues to connect with the ball as he did in this game.

Josh Bell went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Marlins' 6-4 loss to the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's defeat, Bell's performance was a bright spot as he managed to drive in a couple of runs and score once himself, thanks to his solo home run. This season, Bell's batting average sits at a modest .225, with his power numbers slightly underwhelming given his 10 homers over 98 games. His on-base skills remain stable, evidenced by his walk rate, but his overall production has not been particularly impactful for fantasy managers. Moving forward, Bell's ability to contribute positively in RBI and occasional home runs may offer some utility in deeper fantasy leagues, though his limited average and run production cap his overall value.

Josh Bell went 1-for-4 with an RBI as the Marlins topped the Mets 6-4.

Fantasy Impact

While not a standout performance, Bell's contribution was crucial in the Marlins' win. His season has been underwhelming, batting just .228 with a modest power output of nine homers and 40 RBI over 95 games. Bell's lack of consistency at the plate and minimal category coverage beyond RBI make him a less desirable option in most fantasy formats. His low walk rate and high strikeout rate further diminish his appeal, suggesting limited upside unless he can find a way to significantly improve his contact and on-base skills.
