Keith (ribs) will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth in Saturday's ALDS Game 1 matchup against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Keith was officially added to the Tigers' ALDS roster Saturday after missing the wild-card round with rib-cage inflammation, and he's now been deemed fit enough to work as Detroit's designated hitter to begin the series. He'll make his 2025 postseason debut against George Kirby, whom he is 4-for-8 against in his MLB career.

Keith (ribs) is listed on the Tigers' ALDS roster.

EDGE Analysis

Keith landed on the injured list Sept. 19 due to right rib cage inflammation, and after sitting out the AL Wild Card Series versus Cleveland, the 24-year-old will now be available to play against Seattle in the ALDS. That being said, it remains unknown whether he will start Game 1 against the Mariners on Saturday. If he sits out, Zach McKinstry would likely continue to see action at the hot corner.

The Tigers are hopeful that Keith (ribs) will be ready to play in the ALDS, should they advance, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sidelined for the past two weeks with right rib cage inflammation, Keith played catch on the field at Progressive Field on Wednesday. He's also been able to participate in other baseball activities, including swinging a bat, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. Keith certainly appears to be moving in the right direction, but a decision on his availability for the ALDS could come down to the wire. With Keith sidelined, Zach McKinstry has been filling in at third base for the Tigers.

The Tigers placed Keith on the 10-day injured list Friday due to right rib cage inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Keith underwent an MRI after exiting Thursday's game against the Guardians with a back injury, and while the evaluation didn't reveal any structural damage, Keith will require a stint on the injured list. The move will end Keith's regular season, but he'll have a chance at returning in the playoffs. He'll be eligible for reinstatement Sept. 30.

Keith (back) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Keith had to be lifted from Thursday's contest versus the Guardians with a back injury and was sent for an MRI, so it's no surprise he's not ready to play in Friday's series opener. There's no word yet on the results of the imaging, but the Tigers should have an update on the 24-year-old soon. Zach McKinstry will play third base and bat eighth in Keith's stead.

Keith will undergo medical imaging after exiting Thursday's game against the Guardians with a back injury, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Keith was lifted after grabbing at the side of his back at the end of the second inning. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch described the injury as "very concerning," suggesting it's possible Keith strained something and could miss an extended amount of time. More will be known about Keith's status after the MRI results are in, which should be Friday.

Keith was removed from Thursday's game against the Guardians due to an apparent back injury, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Keith went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 11-1 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Keith began the game on the bench with New York starting lefty Carlos Rodon before entering as a pinch hitter in the ninth and promptly taking Luke Weaver deep with a runner on for his 13th home run of the season, tying his rookie-season total from 2024. It was Keith's first home run since Aug. 26, and he's batting just .154 in 12 games since then. Despite the slump, he should remain in the lineup most days against righties.

Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

With southpaw Carlos Rodon on the hill for the Yankees, the left-handed-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench. Andy Ibanez will replace Keith in the starting nine, manning third base and batting sixth.

Keith went 2-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Keith batted leadoff against New York righty Clay Holmes and continued to excel in those matchups, as he's now batting .271 with a .796 OPS against righties this season. The 23-year-old was mired in a bit of a slump before Wednesday, having gone just 2-for-23 in his previous six games, but his spot at the top of Detroit's lineup most days gives him plenty of fantasy upside moving forward.
