Twins' Josh Bell: Homers again Thursday
Bell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Royals.
The 33-year-old went deep for the second consecutive game by launching a homer off Steven Cruz in the ninth inning. His shot was one of three in the frame that blew the game open. Bell has been a strong point in the Twins lineup, leading the team in RBI with five so far. That production has been especially important for a Minnesota lineup that struggled last season, finishing 25th in total offense.

Twins' Josh Bell: Connects for first homer
Bell went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-9 loss to the Royals.
Bell has gone 3-for-15 (.200) with four walks and seven strikeouts over his first five games this season. All three of his hits have gone for extra bases (two doubles, one homer). The 33-year-old is getting steady playing time as the Twins' designated hitter, but he's batted no higher than fifth in the order after being viewed as a potential cleanup hitter late in spring training.

Twins' Josh Bell: Likely cleanup hitter
Bell went 0-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's Grapefruit win over Atlanta. He hit cleanup in the order in a lineup that was likely a preview of the regular lineup for the start of the regular season, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.
Bell is having a solid spring, as he's hitting .286 (12-for-42) with a home run and .839 OPS and a surprising steal of third base. He looks to have an everyday role between 1B and DH.

Twins' Josh Bell: Grabs one-year contract from Twins
The Twins signed Bell to a one-year contract with a mutual option for 2027 on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
It's the first major-league free-agent signing this offseason for the Twins. Bell should see most of the playing time at first base in Minnesota but is also an option for starts at designated hitter. The 33-year-old slashed .237/.325/.417 with 22 home runs across 140 games this past season for the Nationals.

Nationals' Josh Bell: Idle against lefty
Bell is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Atlanta, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
He'll head to the bench for the series opener while Atlanta sends ace lefty Chris Sale to the hill. A switch hitter, Bell has been far more effective against right-handed pitching (.338 wOBA, 117 wRC+) than left-handed pitching (.247 wOBA, 55 wRC+) this season.

Nationals' Josh Bell: Sitting out Thursday
Bell is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Miami.
Bell is one of the hottest hitters in baseball, having gone 8-for-15 with four home runs and 13 RBI over his last four games. However, the switch hitter often doesn't start against left-handed pitching, and that will be the case in Thursday's series finale as the Marlins send southpaw Ryan Weathers to the bump. Andres Chaparro will be at first base and bat fifth for the Nationals.

Nationals' Josh Bell: Homers again
Bell went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's win over Miami.
Bell set the tone early with a three-run blast in the first inning. He later tacked on an insurance run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Bell has gone deep four times in the last three games, bringing him to 20 on the year and surpassing last year's total of 19. The veteran first baseman is now slashing .232/.324/.409 after entering the All-Star break with a .678 OPS.

Bell went 4-for-6 with two homers, six RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 15-7 blowout of the Marlins.
The veteran first baseman notched his 11th career multi-homer performance, as he plated six or more runs for the second time. Bell cracked round trippers from both sides of the plate, blasting a 431-foot, two-run homer off southpaw reliever Josh Simpson in the sixth before returning the next inning to launch another two-run long ball off righty George Soriano. The 33-year-old Bell has been a steady performer since the All-Star break, batting .260 (34-for-131) with eight homers, 18 RBI and 18 runs scored over 40 games.

Bell smacked a three-run home run in the ninth inning of Sunday's 6-3 win over the Cubs.
Bell started Sunday's game on the bench, with Andres Chaparro starting at first base. Bell was brought out for the ninth with two runners on base, and he put the Nationals on top for good with a three-run shot to center field. It was Bell's first homer since Aug. 20 and his 17th home run of the season, which is two shy from his mark in 2024. Bell has a .767 OPS with six home runs and 12 RBI in 148 plate appearances since the All-Star break.
