Yordan Alvarez enters September as the clear frontrunner for AL Comeback Player of the Year after a 2025 season limited to 48 games by multiple injuries. The Astros DH has posted elite production in 2026, leading the league in batting average, home runs, and RBIs while chasing a Triple Crown and MVP honors, which has driven overwhelming trader consensus around his candidacy. Gerrit Cole sits a distant second following his return from Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for all of 2025; the Yankees starter has posted a 3.29 ERA over 104 innings with consistent strikeout rates since his May activation. Contenders such as Mike Trout, Anthony Volpe, and Anthony Santander remain long shots, as their improved outputs have not matched Alvarez’s sustained dominance or Cole’s high-profile recovery trajectory.
