Zack Wheeler Voted 2026 NL Comeback Player of the Year

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler was voted the National League Comeback Player of the Year. The 36-year-old posted a 14-5 record with a 3.00 ERA, 193 strikeouts, and 47 walks across 162 innings in 28 starts during the 2026 season. Wheeler bounced back strong after undergoing thoracic outlet decompression surgery last year, which cut his 2025 campaign short after August 15.
