The Astros designated Singleton for assignment Monday.

Singleton's stint with the big club lasted just one week, with the 33-year-old first baseman appearing in three contests and going 1-for-9 at the plate. Assuming Singleton clears waivers, he'll have the ability to elect free agency, though his familiarity with the Houston organization could compel him to accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Sugar Land with the hope of earning another look with the big club down the road.

Rice is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

He had started in four of the Yankees' last five games, but Rice will give way to Paul Goldschmidt at first base as New York opens a four-game set with Tampa Bay. Rice has gotten off to a slow start to the second half, recording four hits (one home run, two doubles) in 24 at-bats through his first nine games.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Stanton will begin taking defensive reps and could become an option in the corner outfield once Aaron Judge (elbow) returns from the 10-day injured list, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The Yankees are hopeful that Judge will be ready to return from the IL on Aug. 5, but because the two-time AL MVP won't be able to resume throwing for another 10-to-14 days, he'll initially be limited to designated-hitter duties once he's activated. Judge's eventual return will displace Stanton from the DH spot, but the Yankees will attempt to keep Stanton's bat in the lineup by using him in the outfield. Stanton hasn't made a start in the outfield since 2023 and has spent the majority of his tenure with the Yankees as a DH while he's contended with a slew of lower-body injuries in past years and a bout with tennis elbow in both arms earlier this season, but Boone doesn't believe that playing the field will compromise the 35-year-old's health. Even so, the Yankees may not be keen on having Stanton play the outfield on a full-time basis, so expect him to receive at least a couple days off per week when Judge is back in the fold at DH.

Pederson started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 8-1 win over Atlanta.

Pederson rejoined the Rangers on Sunday following a two-month stay on the injured list with a broken hand. He returns at a time when Texas, winners of six consecutive games, is playing its best ball of the season. Pederson is expected to resume a role as the DH against right-handers but could also see time at first base.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

Trout capped off the Angels' four-run fifth inning with a massive 443-foot blast off Logan Gilbert, with the long ball including the 1,000th RBI of Trout's career. Though the 33-year-old has been able to serve as the Angels' everyday designated hitter since coming off the injured list May 30, he doesn't appear close to being ready to play in the outfield. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Trout said prior to Sunday's game that he hasn't taken part in outfield drills since the Angels' series with the Mets earlier in the week, after he experienced some soreness in his knee. He still plans to ramp up his outfield work once the knee soreness subsides, but the Angels may not be comfortable having him serve as anything other than a DH until late in the season.

Yoshida will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Yoshida will make his second straight start against a right-handed pitching, and he could begin to find himself in the lineup on a more frequent basis with Ceddanne Rafaela seeing more playing time at second base to cover for Marcelo Mayer (wrist), temporarily relieving Boston's logjam in the outfield/DH ranks.

The Rangers reinstated Pederson (hand) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start at designated hitter and bat fifth against Atlanta.

Texas optioned Michael Helman to Triple-A Round Rock to clear room on the 26-man roster for Pederson, who missed two months while recovering from a fractured right hand. Though he made one of his two rehab starts at first base, he's expected to be Texas' primary DH. Prior to the injury, Pederson had gotten off to a slow start to his first season with the Rangers, slashing just .131/.269/.238 over 145 plate appearances. On a positive note, Pederson had been striking out at a career-low 19.3 percent.

Manzardo went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in a 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Royals in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Manzardo gave Cleveland a lead in the top of the 10th inning before the Guardians were stung by Jonathan India's three-run home run in the bottom of the frame. The RBI was the 10th in the last eight games for Manzardo, who has gone 9-for-27 with three home runs and two doubles during that stretch.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Reds.

Diaz led off the sixth inning with his 18th home run of the season, and his fourth in eight games since the All-Star break. He's hit .300 in that span while tallying eight RBI and eight runs scored. Diaz is well on pace to surpass his previous career-high homer total of 22, set in 2023.

Stanton went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies.

The game was already out of reach for the Yankees when Stanton took Daniel Robert deep in the seventh inning. The 35-year-old slugger has gone yard in three of his last four games, giving him seven homers and 20 RBI through 28 contests since recovering from elbow issues and making his 2025 debut in mid-June. Per Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com, manager Aaron Boone indicated after Saturday's contest that Stanton may see time in the outfield in August, as Aaron Judge (elbow) will need to DH when he returns from the IL. Until Judge gets healthy, however, Stanton is likely to remain New York's primary designated hitter.
