Five MLB Stars Poised for Major 2026 Comebacks

With spring training looming, five players—Oneil Cruz, Spencer Strider, Mike Trout, Jake Burger and Teoscar Hernandez—are highlighted as bounce-back candidates for 2026. Cruz posted elite contact metrics but a .200 average and high strikeout rate in 2025, suggesting a luck-based rebound and continued tool-based potential; Strider must rebuild after elbow surgery by embracing a more diverse pitch mix to restore strikeout and run-prevention levels; Trout, healthier than last year and with a mechanics tweak behind him, could return to MVP-caliber production; Burger can regain power by readjusting his swing geography and pull strategy; Hernandez, aided by more selective hitting on a loaded Dodgers roster, could reclaim higher offensive impact. Spring training is just weeks away.

"Jake Burger's Home Run and All-Star Selection: How His Wife's Help Led to a Mechanical Fix"

Chicago White Sox player Jake Burger credits his wife, Ashlyn Burger, for helping him make a mechanical fix to his stance, leading to a 442-foot home run against the Oakland Athletics. Ashlyn compared video footage of Burger's previous game where he hit two home runs to his recent performance and noticed a difference in his stance. Burger had been struggling with a slump and his home run power had diminished, but with his wife's assistance, he felt more like himself and is trending in the right direction. This isn't the first time a White Sox player's wife has helped with on-field performance, as Liam Hendriks' wife previously pointed out that he was tipping pitches during a game.

Fantasy Baseball Week 12: Waiver Wire Report and Two-Start Pitcher Rankings.

This week's FAAB waiver wire report highlights players like Jake Burger, Andrew Abbott, and Joey Wiemer, who are rostered in less than 50% of leagues. Burger has continued to hit while playing, and with Eloy Jimenez injured again, he will have continued playing time. Abbott looked solid in his first start in the majors and could be in for an excellent season ahead. Wiemer's offense has taken off in a big way, and his fantasy upside may go through the roof in the coming weeks.
