He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) between 2006 and 2011 for the Cleveland Indians, Toronto Blue Jays, Milwaukee Brewers, and Houston Astros.

Born in Sacramento, California, Inglett attended Mesa Verde High School, and went on to play college baseball at the University of Nevada, Reno.

[3] Inglett made his major league debut with the Indians on June 21, 2006,[4] and batted .284 with two home runs and 21 RBI in 64 games in his rookie season with Cleveland.

The "Voodoo Joe" nickname came from the fact that twice in the 2008 season, Inglett was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse to make room for returning regular players, only to be called back the same day because of new injuries.

[9] During the 2008 season, a string of injuries plagued the Toronto Blue Jays starting lineup, Inglett was used as a utility player as David Eckstein, John McDonald, Scott Rolen and Vernon Wells spent time on the disabled list.

[5] In 2009 spring training, Inglett was expected to play in the majors again, but was sent down to the Triple-A Las Vegas 51s, along with relief pitcher Jeremy Accardo.

[18] On March 27, 2011, the Houston Astros acquired Inglett from the Rays in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
