5 Hot Hitter Fantasy Baseball Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 25 (2025) | Fantasy News

Five bargain-hunter hitters are fueling late-season surges and could carry fantasy teams through Week 25. Jose Caballero adds speed and positional flexibility for the New York Yankees, thriving since the trade and offering stolen-base upside even while contributing across the infield and outfield.

Kyle Manzardo provides power from cleanup, with a recent burst of production that has him driving runs for Cleveland. Romy Gonzalez brings contact and infield versatility, especially strong against left-handers, making him a practical daily-start.

Patrick Bailey anchors catcher depth for the Giants with a late push, while Parker Meadows has rekindled his prospect glow, carving out a leadoff role for Detroit and a path to multi-category production. All are affordable, flexible plug-ins that can help you squeeze every last win from the season.

Which of the five waiver pickups should you prioritize for Week 25 and why?How do you deploy Caballero and Meadows in daily lineups given their roles?Which pitcher matchups threaten or boost these hitters’ value this week?Is Bailey or Gonzalez the safer catcher option for rosters late-season?

Cardinals late-season notes spotlight Michael McGreevy as a budding mid-rotation anchor, with 86 innings and a 3.75 FIP signaling upside for 2026. The rest of the rotation battled HRs and inconsistency, led by Sonny Gray’s 4.43 ERA and Miles Mikolas’s innings-eating but homer-prone work. Liberatore showed spring-time promise, while Pallante, Fedde, Leahy and Matz provided depth but mixed results. West Coast finales vs Brewers and Giants shape keeper-league decisions, with a hopeful closer glance toward Cubs games to close 2025.

San Francisco 5, Arizona 6: One Bad Inning, Eight Good Ones | AZ Snake Pit
Two Eduardo Rodriguezes, one big comeback: Arizona erased an early four-run hole, leaned on small-ball and timely hits, then walked off the Giants 6-5 as Jordan Lawlar delivered a grounder after three sacrifice bunts. Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte sparked the offense; Gabriel Moreno and Blaze Alexander contributed big hits; the bullpen slammed the door for four clean innings. A gritty, playoff-tinged win that showcases the D-backs' depth and late-inning grind.
Which D-backs player should fantasy managers prioritize for the next series after this comeback win?How does small-ball influence fantasy outcomes in high-leverage games?Which relief pitchers should be prioritized for holds and wins in Arizona’s bullpen?Is Lawlar a viable short-term pickup in dynasty leagues after this walk-off performance?

Giants lose fourth straight in 6-5 loss to Diamondbacks | McCovey Chronicles
Giants jumped to a fast 4-0 lead on early contact and savvy baserunning, then watched a bullpen crumble as Arizona surged to tie and walk-off the game in the ninth. Heliot Ramos launched a 113.6 mph early ball, Flores drove in runs and later homered, and Jerar Encarnación supplied the decisive two-out hit before the D-backs staged a dramatic comeback. The walk-off 6-5 loss snaps San Francisco’s four-game skid after a strong start, leaving fantasy managers weighing bullpen usage and late-inning run prevention.
Which Giants hitters were most instrumental in the early 4-0 burst, and can that production be replicated in the next matchup?What bullpen patterns should fantasy managers watch for in the next few Giants games to gauge late-inning upside?Which upcoming opponent present the toughest bullpen matchups for San Francisco, and how should that influence daily fantasy picks?In a daily fantasy contest, which Giants players offer the best risk-reward given this game’s bullpen volatility?

Ex-SF Giants fan favorite questions how team has handled top prospect
J.T. Snow touts Bryce Eldridge as a future Giants cornerstone, urging an earlier call-up and predicting 25–30 homers annually with a long stay at first base. He questions the Devers trade in hindsight, cites Eldridge’s lefty struggles vs. lefties in the minors but power vs righties, and notes Dominic Smith’s injury opened the door for a late-season debut that Snow believes could foreshadow a multi-decade Giants tenure.
With Eldridge’s power upside and lefty splits, should fantasy managers target him as a 2025 rest-of-season bolt or a 2026 cornerstone?How should Eldridge be used in the Giants’ lineup to maximize fantasy upside this offseason and next?Does the Devers trade alter Eldridge’s long-term fantasy outlook for the Giants?Which playoff-push scenario gives Eldridge the strongest fantasy upside for the 2025 postseason?
