Keith went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a walk in Monday's 13-1 victory over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Keith extended his hitting streak to nine games, and he also has at least one knock in 13 of his last 15 outings. Since May 14, the infielder is hitting .304 (17-for-56) with five RBI, seven doubles and nine runs scored. Although the lefty-hitting Keith doesn't have a clear pathway to a role in the field while Spencer Torkelson and Gleyber Torres are healthy, he should still see plenty of action as the designated hitter versus right-handed pitching.

Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Though his absence from the lineup against a lefty starter (Logan Allen) doesn't come as much of a surprise, Keith could be at risk of moving into a part-time role now that Detroit's roster is getting healthier. Matt Vierling returned from the injured list earlier this weekend, and Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back) are both in the midst of rehab assignments and could be activated from the IL in the near future.

Keith is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest in St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Keith has now been out of the lineup two times over the last three games, and all three have been against right-handed pitching. Riley Greene is at designated hitter and Spencer Torkelson is at first base for the Tigers.

Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Keith started the previous three games and went 4-for-9 with two doubles, a walk and three runs, but he'll still take a seat Sunday against Toronto righty Jose Berrios. Riley Greene will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Akil Baddoo receives a start in left field.

Keith went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI single in Friday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Keith came around to score in the second inning and added to the Tigers' lead in the fourth with an RBI single that brought Riley Greene home. Keith had a poor start to the season, but he has been hot at the plate in May. He has recorded two hits in each of his last four starts, going 8-for-14 with five runs scored, two home runs and six RBI over that span.

Keith went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in an 11-1 win over the Rockies in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Keith was out of the lineup versus southpaw Kyle Freeland in Game 1. In the nightcap, Keith started at second and batted third, giving Gleyber Torres a chance to rest his legs as the designated hitter. Keith is coming around in limited action -- all four of his homers this season have come over his last eight games, a span in which he's 8-for-23 (.348) with eight RBI. The infielder is batting .215 with a .714 OPS, 11 RBI, 17 runs scored and no stolen bases across 35 games this season. He continues to see action as a strong-side platoon option at first base, second base and designated hitter.

Keith went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two walks and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Keith took Jack Kochanowicz deep to center in the third to put the Tigers up 5-0. It was his third home run in his last five games after he had zero in his previous 27. Over these last five games, Keith has driven in five runs and scored eight times while producing a 4:3 BB:K. He's showing signs of life and barreling the ball more after not doing much offensively over the first month of the season.

Keith went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-1 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
It looked like another tough game for Keith, as he was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts prior to the ninth inning Friday, but he managed to salvage the night with his second home run of the season. The young infielder is still batting just .182 for the year, though he's been a little better lately with both of his long balls coming over his last three contests.

Keith went 1-for-2 with a walk, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-4 victory over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Keith has seen his playing time dip recently, as this was just his fourth start over Detroit's last eight contests, though he did start all three games of the series against Houston. The second-inning home run was the first of the season for the 23-year-old, who is still batting just .181. Keith may have to get on a hot streak soon to hold onto anything close to an everyday role.

Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Keith has a .545 OPS through 81 plate appearances this season and finds himself on the bench Sunday for the fourth time in Detroit's past five contests, with three of those games coming against right-handed pitchers. The 23-year-old was expected to operate as the Tigers' primary first baseman this year, but Gleyber Torres' early oblique injury led to more action at second base, and the strong play of Spencer Torkelson and Zach McKinstry has resulted in a reduced role for Keith since Torres' return.
