Singleton is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's southpaw Tyler Anderson on the bump for the Angels, so the left-handed-hitting Singleton will grab a seat to begin the festivities. Yainer Diaz will draw the start at first base for the Astros and Victor Caratini will catch.

Singleton was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels due to an illness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Victor Caratini will step in at first base and bat fifth in place of Singleton, who will wind up hitting the bench for a third straight game after going 3-for-4 with two doubles in his last start Thursday versus the Athletics. The lefty-hitting Singleton should see the bulk of the starts at first base against right-handed pitching over the final two weeks of the season.

Singleton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton had started at first base in both of the Astros' previous two matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll give way to Victor Caratini while righty Ryne Nelson takes the hill for Arizona in the series finale. With an OPS of .694 since the All-Star break, Singleton hasn't done enough to fully solidify a strong-side platoon role, though he's still likely to see the majority of the starts at first bae down the stretch.
