Singleton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton's blast helped the Astros erase a three-run deficit in the first inning. That was his lone successful moment Tuesday, as he struck out in his other three at-bats. The first baseman has gone 9-for-32 (.281) in August, but he's been losing playing time to a combination of Zach Dezenzo and Yainer Diaz over the last week. Once Alex Bregman (elbow) returns, Shay Whitcomb may also enter the mix at first base, further impacting Singleton's role. For the season, Singleton is slashing .235/.315/.371 with 11 homers, 33 RBI, 40 runs scored and seven doubles over 96 contests.

Singleton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Singleton will take a seat for the third time in four games, with two of those absences coming against right-handed pitching. The 32-year-old has managed an underwhelming .591 OPS since the All-Star break and looks to have ceded primary duties at first base to rookie Zach Dezenzo.

Singleton is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Zach Dezenzo is getting the call at first base in Singleton's place, and the rookie could have an opportunity to overtake the veteran on the depth chart down the stretch. Singleton has slashed just .232/.316/.355 in 89 contests with the Astros this season.

Singleton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton has hit safely in seven of his last nine games, going 8-for-31 (.258) with two homers and five RBI in that span. Since the start of July, he's batting .231, which is right in line with his .234 average for the season. He's added a .676 OPS, nine homers, 28 RBI, 38 runs scored, seven doubles and no stolen bases over 86 contests, and he doesn't appear to be in any immediate danger of relinquishing his starting role at first base.

Singleton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton has been out of the Astros' lineup for only two games in July but has struggled considerably by hitting .221 with a 29.3 percent strikeout rate across 68 at-bats. He did manage his first home run in 13 starts Friday, bringing his total on the campaign to eight. The Astros haven't shown any signs of benching Singleton, though his playing time could be in danger once Kyle Tucker (shin) is able to return.

Singleton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton was in the lineup for the eighth time in the last 10 games and has taken advantage of that opportunity. Saturday's long ball marked his second home run in that span, and he's also driven in six and scored six runs while hitting .355. If Yordan Alvarez (knee) is forced to miss any additional time, Singleton's spot in the lineup should only become more secure.

Singleton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Toronto, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton had started in four straight games at first base, but he'll yield to Grae Kessinger on Wednesday. Since Jose Abreu was released June 14, Singleton is batting .324 with a homer, four runs scored and four RBI.
