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.

Singleton went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Sunday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Singleton has fallen into a rotation at first base with Yainer Diaz, Victor Caratini and Zach Dezenzo, leaving him with starts every two to three games. He was in the lineup Sunday hitting sixth and delivered his 12th home run of the season, which was also his third long ball in his last 11 appearances.

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.
