Welcome back to another weekend streaming article where I select five players based on hot streaks, pitching/team matchups, or a combination of things to help fantasy owners acquire cheap, low-roster rate (35% or below) production to help win the last two days of their weekly matchups. This week, I’ll be highlighting five players who have been rolling production-wise heading into early September.
Let’s dive into Week 24…
Daylen Lile, OF, Washington Nationals
Daylen Lile has been a major league sensation in 2025! Through 75 games as a rookie, Lile has slashed .286/.330/.459 with a 117 wRC+ — higher than his combined wRC+ between High-A and Double-A last year — and 26 XBH. His nine triples are tied for first place with none other than Bryce Harper for the most three-baggers by a rookie in Nationals history. Oh, and he’s done it and just about half of Harper’s games played. Since August 31st, he has the highest wRC+ (260) in Major League Baseball (min. 10 games).
#Nationals 22yo OF Daylen Lile — last 10 games:

Harrison Bader, OF, Philadelphia Phillies
I’m running it back with Harrison Bader this weekend — he’s still on an absolute scorcher. Entering play today, the 31-year-old has tallied eight hits over his last three games, plus has gone a whopping 30-for-69 (.435) with a 1.182 OPS and 228 wRC+ since August 20th.

Romy González, UT, Boston Red Sox
Romy, my homie!! Gonzalez has been a next-level performer, not only for the Red Sox but also in fantasy. The key has been his ability to hit both right-handed and left-handed pitchers. While the monster 175 wRC+ against lefties remains his calling card, Gonzalez has quietly upped his BA from .217 to .282 against righties this year, partially due to a 22-for-68 (.324) stretch since the start of August. He may not be doing as much damage as he does against lefties, but the hits are falling and they’re coming in bunches.
Romy Gonzalez is playing out of his mind right now!!!!
He’s extended his hit streak to twelve games now… over that span: 19-for-43 (.442). 📈

Jacob Latz, LHP, Texas Rangers
Latz, 29, has had such an interesting year. His first outing was 4.1 scoreless innings of relief on April 23rd, then transitioned into a 1-2 inning reliever, made a few spot starts here and there, and now has fully joined the rotation, posting a 2.35 ERA through 15.1 innings in three starts since doing so on August 27th. Overall, as a starting pitcher this season, Latz has turned in a fantastic 1.08 WHIP, .208 BAA, and 2.73 ERA.

Parker Messick, LHP, Cleveland Guardians
Need a boost in the ERA department? Look no further! Messick, a 24-year-old rookie southpaw, has been tremendous over a small major league sample size. He’s pitched in 23.1 innings through four starts, turning in a 1.91 ERA/2.54 FIP with a minuscule 3% BB rate. His only implosion (9 H, 3 ER in 3.1 IP) was against a heavy-hitting Red Sox offense. Outside of that outing, he’s gone 6+ IP with 1 or fewer ER every single time. He’ll face a mediocre White Sox offense (94 wRC+ vs. LHP) on Sunday.
