Week 24 of 2025 delivers a tight waiver-wire sprint for fantasy MLB managers. Sal Frelick anchors runs with steady multi-category production (10 HR, 19 SB, .294) and strong counting stats, while Daylen Lile and Brandon Marsh offer risers with speed and timely power. Colson Montgomery and Jake Burger headline the HR column, with Austin Hays providing late-season pop. Otto Lopez, Andrew Benintendi, and Luis Torrens are top RBI tools, and Luis Garcia Jr., Caleb Durbin, and Victor Robles supply stolen-base upside. For AVG, Romy Gonzalez, Drew Gilbert, and Chase Meidroth provide varied contact and versatility. Rosters capped at 50%, so these targets can reshape your push for a title in a hurry.

Across the five categories, the piece highlights rostering practicality: Frelick’s blend of speed and runs, Montgomery’s power with a light average, and Burger’s remaining 30-homer ceiling when healthy. Hays stands out as a veteran with seasonal power, while Lopez and Torrens bring hot-streak RBI potential. The trio of AVG pickups—Gonzalez, Gilbert, and Meidroth—adds batting-average depth with September surges. Use these boosters to craft a week-by-week plan and chase a late-season edge.

Five bargain-bin hitters are heating up for Week 24: Lopez, Lile, Gonzalez, Hays, and Bleday. Lopez has surged in Miami, slashing .375 over 11 games with 3 homers and a stolen base, offering middle-infield versatility and a safe AVG floor.

Daylen Lile has climbed into Washington’s heart of the order, flashing rookie upside with strong numbers since the All-Star break. Romy Gonzalez brings multi-position value for Boston, while Austin Hays delivers power and RBI upside in Cincinnati’s lineup. JJ Bleday supplies raw homer potential for Oakland as the season winds down.

These players are cheap, streaming-friendly, and can help cover gaps as rosters expand in September. Monitor playing time and split data, but each offers meaningful short-term value and rest-of-season upside in deeper formats.

Early dazzled in his MLB debut, striking out 11 over five innings to tie a Red Sox record. He navigated jams and flashed a fastball-slider mix that left Oakland off balance, capping a dominant first big-league outing.

Boston chased Springs early, with Romy Gonzalez's leadoff homer and Rob Refsnyder's 463-foot shot fueling a 4-0 first. The win sharpens Boston's rotation plans, while fantasy managers should stash Early and monitor Kyle Harrison's status; Refsnyder's bat remains a trustworthy asset in a strong BOS lineup.
