Trader consensus prices Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop O'Neil Cruz as the frontrunner for NL Comeback Player of the Year at 52% implied probability, reflecting his potential to rebound from an injury-plagued 2025 hampered by concussion protocol in August, ankle discomfort in September, and back tightness, which stifled his raw power-speed profile despite harder contact. Close behind, Chicago Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga (34%) eyes resurgence after a May hamstring strain sapped his velocity and command following a stellar first half; Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara (31%) builds on a strong second-half 3.34 ERA post-Tommy John; and Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott (31%) targets revival from a 4.74 ERA and elbow inflammation. Recent spring developments, including Cruz's physique overhaul, World Baseball Classic impact, and Zack Wheeler's thoracic outlet syndrome recovery milestone with a March minor-league rehab start, underscore the crowded field of high-upside resurgences ahead of Opening Day.
