Yordan Alvarez completed a remarkable comeback by winning the 2026 AL MVP unanimously, the BBWAA announced Thursday. The Astros slugger played 158 games after injuries limited him to 48 in 2025, hitting .316 with 42 home runs and 106 RBI while leading the majors in average, on-base percentage and slugging. He narrowly missed the Triple Crown, falling one homer and seven RBI short.
