2024 Fantasy Outlook
Singleton returned to the majors for the first time since 2015 in 2023, slashing .165/.267/.264 in 105 plate appearances with both Milwaukee and Houston, even securing a spot on the Astros ALDS roster. Though meek in the majors, Singleton impressed across 148 plate appearances in Triple-A Sugar Land where he hit .333/.446/.692 with 12 home runs. It's unlikely that the 32-year-old will become much of a fantasy asset in 2024, but should break camp as a backup first baseman to Jose Abreu and could earn at bats at DH if Yordan Alvarez plays as an outfielder.

Launches two-run homer
Singleton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Yankees in Thursday's 4-3 win.
ANALYSIS
Singleton's long ball was a first-inning, two-run shot that traveled an estimated 442 feet and gave the Astros a 3-0 lead. It was his fourth homer over a nine-game stretch that has helped him take over the starting role at first base that was made available when Jose Abreu was demoted to the minors. Singleton's recent playing time and power surge has put him on the radar in mixed fantasy leagues.

Stat Review
How does Jon Singleton compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be promoted soon
Astros general manager Dana Brown revealed over the weekend that the team is considering a promotion of Singleton soon, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
"We've had conversations and we're thinking about it," Brown said. "I don't know how close we are, but I've had conversations about it and we'll see where it goes from there. We've definitely had some conversations." Singleton has collected a 1.138 OPS with 12 home runs over 33 games since inking a minor-league contract with the Astros in late June. The 31-year-old would offer Houston a left-handed bat for a bench which is currently comprised of all righties. Singleton played for the Astros back in 2014-15 before making it back to the majors briefly earlier this season with the Brewers.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2015
2014
2013
2012
2011
Singleton had a down year at Triple-A Fresno, hitting .202, albeit with 20 home runs. He did walk 88 times for a more respectable .337 on base percentage, but he's not going to get the call hitting at the Mendoza Line in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. Once a top prospect, Singleton struggled mightily in his major league debut with the Astros in 2014, hitting .168 with a 37 percent strikeout rate over 362 at-bats. He did even worse in 2015, and continued his woes at the plate into 2016, casting doubt on whether or not he'll ever make the cut as a major league hitter. The Astros are crowded at first base and designated hitter with A.J. Reed, Tyler White, Yulieski Gurriel and now Brian McCann in the mix for at-bats, making it difficult to imagine Singleton back in the majors even if he does rebound at the plate in 2017. Don't consider Singleton anything but a long shot in the deepest of dynasty formats.
