Three hits, steal in win Keith went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-0 win over the Mariners.

Impact Keith has seen his playing time take a hit lately despite going 14-for-29 (.483) over his last 10 games. The infielder was seeing decent time at third base, but Javier Baez's recent return from an ankle injury has pushed rookie Kevin McGonigle over to the hot corner more frequently. Keith still has a path to at-bats as the designated hitter while Kerry Carpenter (foot) is out. On the year, Keith is batting .273 with a .745 OPS, eight home runs, five steals, 29 RBI, 41 runs scored, 13 doubles and four triples over 321 plate appearances.

Blasts eighth home run Keith went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-2 win over the Phillies.

Impact Keith is off to a nice start in the power department this month, as he now has three home runs in seven July games. Overall, the 24-year-old has tallied all eight of his long balls this season in his last 23 contests after failing to go deep at all over the first 62 games of the year. Keith is building some momentum heading into the second half and starting to emerge as a useful fantasy asset due to his ability to leave the yard.

Outman's triple keys five-run inning as Tigers win sixth straight, beating Phillies 10-2

JULY 11 • Associated Press

Taking seat against lefty Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact The Tigers will send Keith and fellow left-handed hitters Kerry Carpenter and James Outman to the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. Detroit manager A.J. Hinch has shielded Keith from same-handed pitching throughout the season, with the 24-year-old logging just 17 of his 260 plate appearances against lefties.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Launches two-run home run Tuesday Keith went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

Impact Keith was eventually lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, but he made his mark well before then with his seventh home run of the season in the bottom of the first. The 24-year-old has hit all of those home runs in the past three weeks after beginning the year with no long balls across his first 62 games. Keith is trending upward, though the left-handed batter doesn't play much against southpaws, which caps his overall fantasy upside.

Tarik Skubal and Colt Keith lead the Tigers to a 6-2 victory over the Athletics

Tarik Skubal struck out nine over five innings and Colt Keith hit a two-run homer to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 6-2 victory over the Athletics on Tuesday night

Goes deep Thursday Keith went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Keith only got two at-bats before getting pulled for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, but he mustered his sixth home run of the season before then. After going the first 62 games of the year without leaving the yard, the 24-year-old has tallied all six of his long balls across his last 18 contests. During that span, Keith has an .869 OPS, compared to his .678 mark overall.

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus lefty Keith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Southpaw Ryan Weathers is on the bump for the Yankees, so the Tigers will send three of key left-handed hitters in Keith, Riley Greene and Kerry Carpenter to the bench to open up more spots in the lineup for righty bats. Keith has logged just 14 plate appearances versus lefties this season and has reached base on just two occasions.

Hits fifth home run Keith went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 8-0 win over the Astros.

Impact Keith hit his fifth home run of the season in the fourth inning against Houston starter Spencer Arrighetti. All five of the infielder's long balls have come in the last 13 games, and he has a .947 OPS during that span. For the season, Keith has a .675 OPS, but that figure should continue to climb if he can maintain his recent power production.
