TL;DR Summary

The Milwaukee Brewers have called up first baseman Jon Singleton, who was once a top prospect but hasn't played in the MLB since 2015. Singleton signed a five-year, $10 million contract extension with the Houston Astros in 2014, but fizzled out and was suspended for a third positive test for a drug of abuse in 2017. He returned to play in the Mexican League in 2021 and spent the 2022 season with Triple-A Nashville, hitting .219 with 24 homers and 117 walks. The Brewers hope his on-base skills and moderate power will be an asset to their offense.
