The Astros have announced that they have promoted still-promising prospect Jon Singleton from Triple-A Fresno, per Fox Sports.
General manager Jeff Luhnow stated that it will be up to A.J. Hinch to ultimately decide how Singleton is used, but that he could play some first base and designated hitter.
The 23-year-old Singleton, who batted just .168 in 310 at-bats last season with Houston, has again been mashing in the minors with a slash line of .280/.387/.553 and 17 home runs in 264 at-bats.
