Zack Wheeler holds the strongest position in the NL Comeback Player of the Year market due to his return from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery, delivering ace-level results with a sub-3.50 ERA, high strikeout totals, and multiple quality starts for the Phillies despite a midseason dip. Analysts highlight his vintage command and workload as a more compelling narrative than peers recovering from Tommy John procedures. Sandy Alcantara trails as the primary alternative after posting durable innings and franchise strikeout marks for the Marlins following his own surgery recovery, though his ERA hovers near 3.5 amid a middling team context. Lower-probability names such as Tanner Scott, Michael Harris II, and O'Neil Cruz reflect solid rebounds in specific categories but lack the combination of injury severity, statistical impact, and late-season momentum driving Wheeler's trader consensus.
