Josh Bell Snaps Lengthy Homerless Drought With Two Long Balls on Monday
Minnesota Twins first baseman Josh Bell ended a lengthy dry spell in the home run department in Monday night's 6-3 win over the visiting Houston Astros by going 3-for-4 at the plate with two home runs and four RBI to boost his season average to .223 and his OPS to .647. Both of Bell's home runs came off of struggling Astros right-hander Tatsuya Imai in his first two plate appearances of the game. The left-handed veteran power hitter drove in the team's first four runs of the game to help them win the first game of the series at Target Field. Bell's home runs on Monday night snapped a 31-game homerless stretch. It's been a rough season for Bell so far in Minnesota in 2026, which is why he's rostered in less than 10% of Yahoo leagues at the moment. After his big game on Monday night, he's still hitting only .223/.286/.361 with five long balls, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored, and one steal with 14 walks and 43 strikeouts in 182 plate appearances. Fantasy managers should be able to find more consistent power options than an aging Bell.
