Keith went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Keith plated Detroit's first run of the game on his sixth-inning triple as the Tigers came back from a 3-0 deficit and got one step closer to the playoffs. The rookie has played a key role in his team's resurgence, as he's batting .282 across 20 games in September. Only three of his 20 hits during that stretch have gone for extra bases though, leaving him with a middling .682 OPS for the month.

EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old sat out Wednesday against the Royals after he suffered the shoulder injury during Tuesday's contest, but he's back in the lineup following Thursday's team off day. Keith is hitting .315 through 14 games in September, though he hasn't supplied a ton of pop with just two extra-base hits.

EDGE Analysis
Keith was removed from Tuesday's game with a right shoulder injury. Per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press, Keith was able to test out his arm with some fielding drills pregame Wednesday, suggesting that his absence might not last long. The Tigers are idle Thursday before beginning a weekend series in Baltimore. Zach McKinstry will cover second base Wednesday.

Keith was removed from Tuesday's game versus Kansas City due to a right shoulder injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keith reportedly suffered the injury on a dive during the fifth inning of Tuesday's contest, and he took himself out of the game once it began to affect his ability to throw the ball, per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. He's slated to undergo further testing Wednesday, at which point the Tigers will have more information on the severity of the 23-year-old's injury. If he's unable to play Wednesday, Zach McKinstry and Andy Ibanez would be candidates to fill in at second base.

Keith went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Keith made his lone hit count, ripping a two-out home run in the fifth inning that brought the Tigers within a run as they mounted a comeback. Detroit is pushing Minnesota for the final playoff spot, and the rookie Keith has been a key reason why. Over his last 12 contests, the 23-year-old is batting .313 with five runs scored and six RBI.
