Singleton agreed Monday with the Brewers on a minor-league contract, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

For the first time since 2017, Singleton made his return to affiliated ball in 2022 and provided a nice blend of power and on-base skills for Triple-A Nashville in Milwaukee's organization. While playing in 134 games, the 31-year-old first baseman slashed .219/.375/.434 with 24 home runs and a 20.4 percent walk rate across 581 plate appearances. He'll likely get the opportunity to join the Brewers for big-league camp this spring as a non-roster invitee, but the expectation is that he'll report back to Nashville for the start of the 2023 campaign.

Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk during Sunday's 4-3 win over the Padres in Game 5 of the NLCS.

Hoskins caused the Philadelphia crowd to erupt with his 424-foot two-run blast off Yu Darvish in the third inning that gave the Phillies an early 2-0 lead. The 29-year-old recorded his third two-run homer in the last two games and his fifth of the postseason. Hoskins how has eight hits in the postseason across 44 at bats, and five of them are homers. He will look to continue the power surge in the World Series against the Astros.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with two two-run home runs during Saturday's 10-6 win over the Padres in Game 4 of the NLCS.

With the Phillies trailing 4-0 in the first inning, Hoskins started a comeback with a two-run homer off Mike Clevinger, and he completed the comeback by tying the game with another two-run shot in the fifth off Sean Manaea. Hoskins is only 7-for-31 in the 2022 postseason, but four of his seven hits are homers, and he has amassed nine RBI. The 29-year-old is slated to face Yu Darvish in Game 5 with a chance to reach the World Series. Hoskins is 6-for-19 in his career against Darvish with a home run and two doubles.

Bell isn't in the lineup for Game 3 of the NLCS against Philadelphia on Friday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

After going 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a Game 2 victory on Wednesday, Bell will get a day off Friday. Brandon Drury will step in as the Padres' designated hitter, allowing Wil Myers to start at first base.

Bell went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in Game 2 of the NLCS on Wednesday afternoon as the Padres defeated the Phillies, 8-5.

Bell came into Game 2 hitting just 3-for-23 in the postseason with nine strikeouts, but he was able to get back on track Wednesday. Bell's solo homer in the bottom of the second off Aaron Nola helped the Padres come back from a 4-0 deficit and tie the series at 1-1. The 30-year-old DH hit just three home runs across 53 games once he joined the Padres in 2022, but he can atone for his disappointing regular season by continuing to flash his power for the Padres in the NLCS.

Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-5 loss to the Padres on Wednesday afternoon in Game 2 of the NLCS.

Hoskins took Padres reliever Robert Suarez deep to left with a 409-foot blast in the top of the eighth inning, but the Phillies were unable to rally in Game 2. The 29-year-old first baseman's blast was his second postseason homer, although he's still just 5-for-34 with one walk and 11 strikeouts during Philadelphia's current playoff run. Hoskins is playing in the first postseason of his six-year career, it will be interesting to see if he can adjust to the playoff intensity as the NLCS progresses.

Bell will sit for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Bell hit just .192/.316/.271 with three home runs in 53 games following his move to San Diego at the deadline. He does have one homer this postseason but has just three total hits in 20 trips to the plate to go with seven strikeouts. Brandon Drury will be the designated hitter Saturday.

Hall was left off the Phillies' roster for the NL Wild Card Series against the Cardinals on Friday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Hall was called up by Philadelphia on Sept. 30 but won't be on the active roster for the start of the playoffs. The 27-year-old had a .250/.282/.522 slash line with nine home runs and 16 RBI in 42 games this year and could be in the mix for a roster spot later in the postseason should the Phillies advance.
