Josh Bell Heating Up as a Strong Add in 12-Team Leagues?
Minnesota Twins first baseman/designated hitter Josh Bell has quietly put together an excellent June. He is batting .299/.351/.529 with four home runs, six doubles, 19 RBI, and 14 runs across 25 games this month. Bell has appeared in every Minnesota game during that stretch and has regularly hit in the middle of the order. His season line now sits at .243/.300/.395 with nine homers, 51 RBI, and 41 runs over 296 at-bats. Bell is not suddenly becoming an elite power hitter, but he can still help fantasy managers looking for corner-infield production. His 42.3% hard-hit rate and 9.7% barrel rate are both respectable, while his .320 xwOBA sits slightly above his .306 wOBA. The downside is a 22.0% strikeout rate, his highest since 2020, along with an otherwise modest .696 OPS. Still available in 84% of Yahoo leagues, Bell is worth adding in 12-team formats for fantasy managers chasing RBI, moderate power, and steady playing time.
