Out for season with thumb sprain The Tigers placed Keith on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left thumb sprain.

Impact He missed a couple games last week with thumb soreness, and subsequent testing revealed a sprain. It will end the season for Keith, who finishes with a .258/.322/.406 batting line and 10 home runs over 140 contests for the Tigers. Gleyber Torres and/or Eduardo Valencia could handle designated hitter duties for the Tigers in the final week while Keith is out.

Sitting out Thursday Keith is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the White Sox.

Impact Keith missed two games earlier this week with a left thumb injury before returning to action Wednesday. The Tigers are facing a righty in Erick Fedde on Thursday, so it's possible Keith's thumb is still bothering him and that's what is keeping him out of the lineup. Spencer Torkelson is at first base, and Gleyber Torres will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter Thursday.

Back in action for Tigers Keith (thumb) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

On bench Tuesday Keith (thumb) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Keith was scratched from the lineup Monday due to left thumb soreness and is sitting Tuesday for a second consecutive game. It's unclear how long he's been dealing with the injury, but Keith has a .136/.240/.227 slash line and 30 percent strikeout rate over his past 19 games.

Scratched with thumb injury Keith was scratched from Monday's lineup against Toronto due to left thumb soreness.

Impact The injury may have flared up during the Tigers' weekend series against the Rockies, and Hao-Yu Lee will now start at third base Monday and bat ninth. Keith will undergo more tests so that the medical staff can determine a recovery timeline, but the 25-year-old infielder can be considered day-to-day for now.

SEPTEMBER 12 • Associated Press

Powers team to victory Wednesday Keith went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

Impact Keith was eventually lifted for pinch hitter Spencer Torkelson, but not before he lifted his 10th home run of the season just three batters into the game to give Detroit an early 2-0 lead. The 25-year-old is seeing more time at first base lately in place of the struggling Torkelson, and that arrangement could stick down the stretch, at least against right-handed starters, where the left-handed bat of Keith holds the platoon advantage. He's not been an elite fantasy performer by any means, though his current playing time gives Keith a fairly stable floor.
