First baseman Jon Singleton recorded a single on his unbelievable return to the majors with the Milwaukee Brewers Saturday.
Singleton started in his first game back in MLB in eight seasons during the Brewers' 10-8 win over the Cincinnati Reds.
The 31-year-old, hit sixth in the batting order, was a former Astros top prospect but has not been in the majors since 2015 due to off-field drug issues.
The Brewers called up Singleton and outfielder Blake Perkins from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday and put first baseman Darin Ruf and outfielder Tyrone Taylor on the 10-day injured list. Ruf has a right knee laceration and Taylor has a right elbow sprain.
'It's been a long journey,' Singleton told reporters before the Brewers' game Saturday with the Cincinnati Reds. 'Right now, I really can't even describe my emotions, my feelings. Definitely grateful.'
