Idle versus lefty Keith isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi will toe the slab for Toronto on Saturday, meaning the lefty-hitting Keith will begin the game on the bench. Andy Ibanez will get the nod to start at second base instead while batting leadoff.

Huge performance in win Keith went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 11-9 extra-innings win over the Dodgers.

Impact Keith hit a two-run double in the second inning, singled in the sixth and then tied the game on a two-run home run in the ninth. The rookie might not be looking forward to the All-Star break, as he is scorching in July with six multi-hit efforts, five long balls, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored. On the year, he is hitting .253 with nine homers, 37 RBI, 35 runs scored and five steals across 313 plate appearances.

Not starting vs. lefty Keith is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Keith has a .351/.442/.784 slash line with two triple and four homers through his first 10 games of July, but he'll sit Friday as lefty James Paxton takes the mound for Los Angeles. Andy Ibanez will man the keystone and bat leadoff in the series opener.

Triples, scores twice in win Keith went 1-for-2 with a walk, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Guardians.

Impact Keith continues to chug along as he extended his hitting streak to eight games. During that stretch, the rookie has batted .419 with six extra-base hits. After looking shaky to start the season, Keith now appears to be a solid fantasy contributor, and fantasy mangers should jump on the 22-year-old if he's still available in their leagues given his recent performance and considerable upside.

Goes deep again Tuesday Keith 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 9-8, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

Impact It's hard to believe that Keith was batting just .154 with no home runs at the end of April, as the rookie has turned it on since then. In 55 games from May onward, Keith is batting .294 with eight long balls and 27 RBI. The 22-year-old was a promising prospect in the minors and he's starting to deliver on that promise in the majors, much to the delight of fantasy managers.

Tallies two hits, swipes base Keith went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Reds. He also stole a base.

Impact Keith extended his hitting streak to five games, and he's gone 9-for-21 during the stretch with three home runs and a stolen base. The 22-year-old is starting to settle in at the MLB level offensively, plus he's running a bit more than anticipated, as he never stole more than four bases in a season during his time in the minors. Keith is still known more for his power than his speed, but any contributions in the steals category is a welcome bonus.

JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep twice Friday Keith went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three total RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

Impact Keith hit a solo blast in the third inning, then followed that up with a two-run shot in the fifth. The 22-year-old now has seven home runs this season, with four of them coming in the last 10 games. During that stretch, he's batting .286 with a .945 OPS. Keith seems to be delivering on his prospect potential after a slow start to the year, and he could be a difference maker in fantasy leagues the rest of the way if he keeps this up.

Goes deep in blowout loss Keith went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 12-3 loss to the Twins, which was called after seven innings due to rain.

Impact Keith was a bright spot for the Tigers on an ugly afternoon in Minneapolis. The young second baseman now has consecutive multi-hit efforts, and he's tripled and gone deep during the stretch. Overall, Keith has been so-so this year with a .236 average and .620 OPS, though he's been better from May onward after a rough first month in the majors. There's still potential for a big finish from the 22-year-old rookie.

Dealing with knee soreness Keith was removed from Saturday's game against Milwaukee with left knee discomfort, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Keith and Akil Baddoo collided in right field while running at full speed, but Keith took most of the impact and was removed from the contest during the third inning. Considering Keith was able to walk off the field without any assistance, it seems like he's dealing with a minor injury. Still, the Tigers will likely continue to evaluate him throughout Saturday evening. Detroit will finish its three-game series against the Brewers on Sunday before having a team day off Monday.

Removed from game after collision Keith was removed from Saturday's game against the Brewers in the third inning after colliding with Akil Baddoo tracking down a fly ball, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Keith was running full speed toward the foul line in right field and collided with Akil Baddoo as the ball dropped. The second baseman looked to be grabbing at his leg before walking back to the dugout unassisted. Zach McKinstry replaced Keith at second base. A status update on Keith should come later Saturday.

Stays hot Tuesday Keith went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Royals.

Impact While the Tigers struggled as a team, Keith continued to roll. The rookie is batting a robust .441 over his last 10 contests, and he's recorded three or more hits in a game three times already this month. Keith came into May batting just .154 but has pushed that figure to .230, and the 22-year-old has a prospect pedigree that suggests he'll be able to sustain this level of play.

MAY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Sunday's lineup Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Keith is mired in a 2-for-25 slump and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Buddy Kennedy will step in at second base and bat sixth.
