On October 15, 2015, Singer signed a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies organization. Singer split his first season with the Phillies between three affiliates: the Low-A Williamsport Crosscutters, the Single-A Lakewood BlueClaws, and the High-A Clearwater Threshers. In 23 appearances between the three teams, Singer registered a stellar 1.79 ERA with 46 strikeouts in 40.1 cumulative innings. In 2017, Singer split the year between Clearwater and the Double-A Reading Fightin Phils, logging a 3.00 ERA with 78 strikeouts in 63.0 innings pitched across 49 contests. Singer split the 2018 season between Clearwater, Reading, and the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Singer pitched to a cumulative 4.22 ERA with 55 strikeouts in 44 appearances between the three affiliates. In 2019, Singer spent the season with Double-A Reading, working to a 2.34 ERA with 74 strikeouts in 42 total appearances. Singer did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, he returned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, posting a 4.75 ERA with 67 strikeouts in 53.0 innings of work across 44 games for the team. He was assigned to Lehigh Valley to begin the 2022 season. On April 12, 2022, Singer was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time after Corey Knebel was placed on the COVID list. Singer did not make an appearance in the Phillies' game against the New York Mets and was designated for assignment the following day after Knebel was reinstated from the COVID list. His time spent on the active roster without appearing in a major league game made him a phantom ballplayer. On April 15, Singer was sent outright to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
