Keith isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Keith will take a seat to begin Saturday's festivities after going 2-for-10 with an RBI and a run scored over his last five games. His absence will put Spencer Torkelson at first base and open a spot in the lineup for Zack McKinstry to start in right field, batting third.

Keith is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first time this season that Keith has been out of the lineup two days in a row, although this one isn't a surprise since the Padres are sending lefty Kyle Hart to the bump. Spencer Torkelson will handle first base and bat fifth for the Tigers.

Keith is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

With Kerry Carpenter limited to designated hitter duty for now as he comes back from a hamstring issue and Spencer Torkelson deserving everyday playing time, Keith faces a playing-time squeeze in the short term. Torkelson is at first base versus righty Nick Pivetta on Tuesday.

Keith is not in Detroit's starting lineup against Kansas City on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Royals sending southpaw Cole Ragans to the mound, the lefty-hitting Keith will begin Friday's contest in the dugout while Spencer Torkelson starts at first base and bats fifth. Keith is slashing .185/.343/.222 with 13 walks, seven runs scored and two RBI across 67 plate appearances to open the season.

Keith is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Keith will get a day off as the Brewers send southpaw Jose Quintana to the hill. Spencer Torkelson will be at first base for the Tigers.

Keith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Milwaukee is starting lefty Tyler Alexander, so the lefty-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench. Spencer Torkelson will start at first base, and Justyn-Henry Malloy will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter.

Keith went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a bit of a slow start to the year for Keith, as this was just his second multi-hit effort through 13 games and he's batting only .200 overall. The 23-year-old is also still seeking his first home run after slugging 13 of them in 148 games as a rookie in 2024. Keith is a talented offensive player, so despite the down numbers, he should continue to see regular playing time.

Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old began the season as Detroit's starting first baseman, but he was shifted to second base with Gleyber Torres (oblique) on the injured list. Keith has a .174/.441/.261 slash line through 34 plate appearances this season and is receiving his first day off this season.

Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Friday that Keith will move to first base next season, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The newly-signed Gleyber Torres will take over as the Tigers' second baseman, shifting Keith over to the cold corner. Keith has never played first base in pro ball, but he's been working out there this offseason and the Tigers don't seem to have any concerns about his ability to adapt to the position. With Keith now at first base at least against righties, Spencer Torkelson's role on Detroit's roster looks unclear.

Detroit has asked Keith to take grounders at first base this spring, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This doesn't necessarily mean that Keith will see time during the 2025 campaign at first base, but if he fares well enough at first during the spring, it would give the Tigers more infield flexibility. Justyn-Henry Malloy was also asked to try his hand at first base, so the general focus around the organization appears to be increasing the number of potential infield combinations.
