Dezenzo is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It's the third straight game on the bench for Dezenzo, who has started just three of the last nine games and just one of the last seven against right-handed pitching. Yainer Diaz will play first base in Wednesday's series finale, while Victor Caratini will do the catching.

Singleton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox.

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.

Casas went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and two walks in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Astros.

Casas has logged multiple hits in three of his five games since returning from what was nearly a four-month absence due to a cartilage tear in his ribcage. He's gone 7-for-20 (.350) since his return, with his homer Tuesday being his first extra-base hit in that span. For the year, the first baseman is at a .265/.363/.510 slash line with seven homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored and three doubles across 113 plate appearances.

Torkelson went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs.

It's a small sample, but Torkelson is now 6-for-10 since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo over the weekend. Encouragingly, he's also only struck out twice in three games. Making consistent contact has been an issue at times for Torkelson, but the 24-year-old has tremendous power, as evidenced by his 31 home runs last season. He could make a decent fantasy impact down the stretch if he stays locked in at the plate.

The Padres recalled Batten from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old has been with Triple-A El Paso since late April but will join the Friars on Tuesday as Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) heads to the injured list. Batten should serve as a depth infielder while up in the big leagues and likely won't see regular at-bats.

Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Tuesday's game against Texas.

With southpaw Cody Bradford set to toe the slab for the Rangers, the lefty-hitting Tellez will take a seat on the bench to begin Tuesday's game. Connor Joe will cover first base for the Pirates instead while batting fourth.

Kavadas isn't in the Angels' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Kansas City, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The lefty-hitting Kavadas will take a seat Tuesday while the Royals send left-hander Cole Ragans to the mound. Brandon Drury will instead serve as Los Angeles' designated hitter, allowing Jack Lopez to start at second base and bat ninth.

Dezenzo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Dezenzo has a .161/.212/.290 slash line and 33.3 percent strikeout rate in his first nine big-league games and will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Yordan Alvarez is serving as the designated hitter while Mauricio Dubon receives a start in left field.

Rice is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

Rice will dodge a same-hand matchup with lefty Matthew Boyd on Tuesday, giving way to DJ LeMahieu at first base. Rice has one hit in 19 at-bats during August but has almost the same number of walks (four) as strikeouts (five) and has scored four runs.

The Nationals reinstated Gallo (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Gallo has been on the shelf since June 12 due to a strained left hamstring, but he'll rejoin the active roster Monday at the expense of Travis Blankenhorn. With younger players like Alex Call, Juan Yepez and Andres Chaparro playing well, Gallo probably won't be the everyday player he was prior to the injury. Still, he could mix in at right field, first base or DH as needed.
