Astros Weigh Promotion of Jon Singleton as Corey Julks Gets Optioned
The Houston Astros have optioned struggling outfielder Corey Julks to Triple-A Sugar Land and are considering promoting former top prospect Jon Singleton to fill the roster spot. Julks has seen his playing time decrease and his production decline in recent weeks. Singleton, who has been performing well in Triple-A, could provide the Astros with a much-needed left-handed bat. The team had explored trade options for a left-handed bat but found the market to be thin.
