Everyone loves a good comeback story. Whether it's Rocky Balboa or Robert Downey Jr., we like to watch a guy pick himself up off the mat and start swinging again—literally, metaphorically, whatever.
Fortunately, the 2017 MLB season is full of intriguing comeback yarns.
Some players on this list are working their way back from injuries, while others are hoping to atone for a troubling dip in production. A few didn't play at all in 2016; one hasn't played since 2014.
They're all worth keeping an eye on in spring training and beyond. Not every comeback will be successful, but they'll all be compelling by definition.
