Player Outlook
Josh Bell signed with the Guardians, ostensibly to add pop to a productive, but power-deficient lineup. With Cleveland's offense struggling all season, they shopped Bell and his .233/.318/.383 line to the Marlins, to hopefully add pop to another lineup lacking punch. This time, the plan rang true, and Bell chimed in with a .276/.344/.490 line the rest of the way. Bell's average exit velocity and hard-hit rate were the same with the Guardians and Marlins, but his BABIP was 42 points higher with Miami, driving his improved production. Bell must have enjoyed his time in South Beach since he exercised his player option to stay. The switch-hitter should play nearly every day, spending time at first base and designated hitter. He should bat in a run-producing spot and be a sneaky asset in mixed leagues since LoanDepot Park is a neutral venue for runs and power. Bell's career 11.7 percent walk rate is a boon for OBP and points leagues.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Goes deep again Thursday

    Rotowire
    Bell went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a loss to the Orioles on Thursday. Baltimore built a 6-0 lead before Bell put Miami on the board with a sixth-inning solo shot to center field. The Marlins later strung together a ninth-inning rally, with Bell's single plating the tying run to send the game into an extra frame. Bell has gone deep in three of his past four contests and is batting .467 (7-for-15) with three homers, five RBI and four runs over that span.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Homers in victory

    Rotowire
    Bell went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-3 victory versus the Orioles. Bell belted the only long ball of the contest, swatting a solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. It was his second homer in three contests following a 22-game stretch during which he went deep only once. Bell has hit 11 home runs through 100 contests, so he'll have to pick up the pace to reach 20 long balls for the fifth time in his career.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Slugs 10th homer

    Rotowire
    Bell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional RBI in Monday's loss to the Mets. Bell took Mets starter David Peterson deep in the fifth inning before adding an RBI groundout in the ninth. The 31-year-old has struggled mightily during the month of July, batting just .136 with two home runs, seven RBI and three runs scored in 15 games.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Homer, double in loss

    Rotowire
    Bell went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and one additional RBI in Saturday's 10-6 loss to the Reds. The homer was Bell's first since June 21 and his ninth this season. He's had a disappointing first half with a .230/.292/.360 slash line through 93 games. Bell's strikeout rate isn't far off from his career norm, but the power metrics have cratered and he's not walking as much. The 31-year-old impending free agent will presumably be shipped out of Miami at the trade deadline.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Absent from lineup Saturday

    Rotowire
    Bell is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox. Saturday marks Bell's first day off since June 24. He went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in the series opener Friday, and since his last day off, Bell has gone 4-for-39 with two RBI and 11 strikeouts. Jonah Bride will serve as the designated hitter Saturday and bat sixth against White Sox southpaw Garrett Crochet.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Receiving first day off

    Rotowire
    Bell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals. Bell will hit the bench for the first time all season, ending a streak of 77 consecutive starts. He'll be getting a breather after he concluded the Marlins' weekend series versus the Mariners with a pair of hitless performances that brought his season-long average down to .246. Jake Burger steps in at first base in place of Bell.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Slugs eighth homer

    Rotowire
    Bell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Mariners. The first baseman went back-to-back with Bryan De La Cruz in the sixth inning to tie the score, and the Marlins would eventually collect their third straight walk-off win. The streaky Bell has nine hits in the last five games, but that comes on the heels of an 0-for-21 slump over the prior six contests. On the season, he carries a .251/.313/.389 slash line in 75 games with eight homers and 33 RBI.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Keeps raking

    Rotowire
    Bell went 3-for-4 with an RBI during Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Rays. Bell has generated at least one hit in eight consecutive contests, with Wednesday's performance his third three-hit game during that span. The first baseman drove in Vidal Brujan on a fifth-inning single, marking Bell's 30th RBI of the campaign. Through 262 plate appearances, Bell owns a .716 OPS and a 19.1 percent strikeout rate, down from 21.8 percent in 2023.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Extends hit streak vs. Rays

    Rotowire
    Bell went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple, two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to Tampa Bay. Bell extended Miami's lead to 3-0 in the first inning with a two-run triple, his first three-bagger since 2022, before leading off the eighth with a double. With Tuesday's multi-hit performance, Bell's now hit safely in seven straight games, going 12-for-29 (.414.) with a 1.075 OPS in that span. After a brutal start to the year, the 31-year-old first baseman has boosted his slash line to .247/.318/.385 with six homers, 29 RBI and 26 runs scored across 61 games.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Three hits in Wednesday's rout

    Rotowire
    Bell went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Padres. Facing one of his former clubs, Bell racked up his second straight three-hit performance. The 31-year-old first baseman has been on a tear to close out May, slashing .340/.358/.500 over the last 12 games with five doubles, a homer and eight RBI. Bell's .689 OPS on the season is still below his usual level of production -- his lowest mark over a full campaign is .744, set last year -- but he's quickly closing the gap.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Big homer off Diaz in comeback win

    Rotowire
    Bell went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 10-9 victory over the Mets in 10 innings. Bell had two singles -- including one that drove in a run -- when he strolled to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning to face Edwin Diaz as the tying run. He then swatted one 428 feet for a three-run home run to knot things up before the Marlins eventually won in the 10th. Bell's home run -- which was his sixth of the season -- was measured at 107.9 mph off the bat. The first baseman is 10-for-25 with two long balls over his last six games.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Three-run homer in win

    Rotowire
    Bell went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-6 extra-win over the Phillies. Bell was able to take Zack Wheeler deep for a three-run shot in the bottom of the third inning, giving the Marlins a 4-3 lead. The long ball was his fifth of the season and second of the month. The first baseman has produced a .270 average with two home runs, eight RBI and three runs scored over 37 at-bats in 11 games in May.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Clubs fourth homer

    Rotowire
    Bell went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Rockies. The first baseman lofted a Peter Lambert curveball over the right-field fence in the third inning, tying the game at 3-3. Bell has struggled out of the gate this season, slashing .185/.273/.306 through 33 contests with four homers, 11 RBI and 16 runs, but the streaky slugger may be heating up -- he went 4-for-12 in the three-game sweep of Colorado.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Cranks first homer

    Rotowire
    Bell went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 8-5 loss to the Cardinals. Bell put the Marlins ahead 3-1 in the fifth inning with a two-run shot off Lance Lynn, his first homer of the season. The 31-year-old Bell entered the day with just one RBI through his first seven games. He's now 7-for-31 to start the campaign after slashing .247/.325/.419 with 22 home runs and 74 RBI in 150 games between Miami and Cleveland last year.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Exercises option to stay in Miami

    Rotowire
    Bell exercised his $16.5 million player option for 2024 on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Bell began the season with the Guardians and struggled but thrived after arriving in Miami at the trade deadline, batting .270/.338/.480 with 11 home runs over 53 games for the Marlins down the stretch. The 31-year-old currently projects as the team's starting first baseman for 2024, although the Marlins could shift Bell to the designated hitter role if they find someone else to handle first.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Cracks three hits in loss

    Rotowire
    Bell went 3-for-4 with two doubles and one run in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Phillies in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series. Bell did plenty of damage against the Phillies in the regular season, slashing .357/.455/.536 in eight games with one home run, four RBI and three runs. He continued that trend into the postseason Tuesday with his two doubles, the first coming against Zack Wheeler in the seventh and eventually resulting in Bell scoring the only run for the Marlins. The second two-bagger, which came off Phillies closer Craig Kimbrel in the ninth, also had a chance to be consequential, but Bell was stranded to end the game. The multi-hit tally was an extension of Bell's strong career postseason numbers, which now included a .300 average and .842 OPS across 41 plate appearances over 11 playoff contests.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Homers among three hits

    Rotowire
    Bell went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-1 victory over the Brewers. Bell popped a 379-foot homer off Freddy Peralta in the third inning for his 22nd of the year. He has enjoyed a nice turnaround since joining the Marlins from the Guardians at the trade deadline, hitting .276 with 11 home runs, 26 runs and 21 RBI over 48 games. Bell had previously hit .233 with 11 home runs, 26 runs and 48 RBI over 97 games in Cleveland.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Snaps homer drought Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Bell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a double in a loss to the Mets on Wednesday. Bell accounted for half of Miami's scoring output with his 417-foot solo shot in the sixth inning. The veteran slugger had gone 14 games without a long ball prior to the blast, slashing .216/.273/.255 with a 30.9 percent strikeout rate over the cold stretch. He's slowed down quite a bit after slamming eight home runs over his first 26 contests as a Marlin.

  • Marlins' Josh Bell: Homers in win

    Rotowire
    Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Dodgers. Bell put the Marlins ahead 3-2 in the fifth inning with a two-run blast off Clayton Kershaw, his 20th homer of the year.

    Rotowire

Bell's gone yard three times in the last six games and is slashing .289/.366/.614 through 93 plate appearances as a Marlin with eight homers and 13 RBI.
