Josh Bell is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 18 (2023). Target Bell as a free agent first baseman on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: In Week 15 of this column, I listed Josh Bell as a potential pick-up. This add may have seemed a bit perplexing at the time, but if you followed through on rostering the 30-year-old switch-hitter, it's started to pay off. Bell has finally begun doing what he does best: hitting homers.

He's slugged .640 and batted .360 across his last seven games for the Guardians. Cleveland will look for a three-game sweep of the Phillies on Sunday, during which Bell has gone 2-for-6 with a double, RBI, and a walk in the series.
