Scratched with illness Keith was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals due to an illness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Keith had been slated to start at third base and bat leadoff, but Zach McKinstry will instead get the nod at the hot corner Sunday, while center fielder Wenceel Perez sets the table for Detroit. Assuming the illness isn't anything too debilitating, Keith should have a good chance at returning to the lineup for Monday's series opener in Sacramento versus the Athletics. Keith had followed up a recent five-game hitting streak by going 0-for-8 with one walk and five strikeouts over his last three starts.

Settling in at third Keith is adjusting well to playing third base this season and could be the Tigers' long-term solution at the position, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Despite coming up through the minors as a third baseman, Keith spent most of his 2024 rookie season playing second. This year, the Tigers had designs on him playing first, but Spencer Torkelson's resurgence pushed Keith back over to the hot corner. The 24-year-old is reacclimating well to the position defensively, and he's also been producing at the plate, posting a .301/.379/.488 slash line since the start of July. Detroit reportedly pursued Alex Bregman and others this past offseason to slot in at third, but will Keith looking comfortable, he could lock down the starting role for the foreseeable future.

Jack Flaherty's strong start, 4 homers lead Tigers to 10-0 rout of Astros

Jack Flaherty struck out nine batters in seven scoreless innings and the Detroit Tigers went on to beat the Houston Astros 10-0 on Monday night

AUGUST 19, 2025 • Associated Press

Big effort in easy win Keith went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two total runs scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the Astros. He also stole a base.

Keith is batting a robust .354 over his last 15 games with three home runs, seven RBI and 11 runs scored.

It's been a different story against righties, as Keith has an .818 OPS in 291 at-bats against opposite-handed pitching.

Prior to then, the young infielder delivered his third three-hit effort of the season, all of which have come this month. The Tigers are rumored to be exploring third basemen leading up to Thursday's trade deadline, which would impact Keith's role, but for now he's the team's top option at the hot corner, at least against righties.
