Jon Singleton On Fast Track To Make Opening Day Roster?
10 months agoHouston Astros first baseman Jon Singleton appears to have the early advantage in the competition for a spot on the Opening Day active roster, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. As Rome notes, Singleton is out of options, making it more difficult for the team to send him to the minors. The veteran returned to the majors in 2023 after eight consecutive seasons in the minors. With Houston, he slashed .194/.301/.323, adding two homers, 10 RBI, 10 walks, and 12 strikeouts. If Singleton lets his roster spot slip away, recently acquired outfielder Trey Cabbage could replace him on the Astros' bench.
