Keith went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Keith had three of Detroit's seven hits as a team as Corbin Burnes and two Baltimore relievers mostly cruised through the lineup. The young infielder is batting a robust .318 this month, which has helped push his season average up to a respectable .263. Keith was batting just .154 at the end of April, so he's come a long way during his rookie campaign. The 23-year-old should be set up for a breakout 2025 campaign now that he's seemingly settled in at the MLB level.

Keith went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Keith singled in a run during the third inning before capping off Detroit's nine-run day with his two-run double in the eighth. It was his ninth multi-hit performance of the month and his seventh over the last 12 games. During that 12-game stretch, he's 19-for-50 (.380), but only four of those hits have gone for extra bases. After some early-season struggles (.595 OPS through the end of June), Keith is now slashing .264/.316/.398 with 29 extra-base hits, seven steals and 51 RBI through 119 games.

Keith went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 13-4 win against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Keith's solo home run in the ninth inning snapped a streak of 22 games without a deep fly. The rookie has 12 homers for the season and raised his OPS to .702 in the process. Keith is carrying a seven-game hitting streak and has multi-hit games in seven of his last 13 appearances, carrying a .333 batting average over the span.

Keith went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 10-2 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Keith was the only Detroit player with multiple hits as the team finished with just five hits overall in a sluggish performance. The rookie continues to have a solid campaign following a slow start to the season, as he's now batting .258 overall after finishing April with just a .154 batting average. Keith has plenty of room for further growth, making the 23-year-old a potential 2025 breakout candidate.

Keith went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Keith notched his seventh game with at least three hits this season and now has six games in August with multiple hits. His lone extra-base knock of the night came off Clay Holmes in the ninth and Keith wound up coming around to score to send the game to extras. Keith hasn't been able to replicate the power numbers he displayed in the minors, as he hasn't hit a home run since July 27, but has maintained a patient eye at the dish and ranks third among all qualified rookies with a 17.6 strikeout percentage. For the year, the 22-year-old is slashing .256/.308/.386 with 11 homers, 44 RBI, 44 runs, six steals and a 28:75 BB:K in 425 plate appearances.

Keith (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot for Saturday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Keith sat out of Friday's contest against the Yankees to recover from lingering soreness in his left hamstring. The 23-year-old appears to be healthy enough to play Saturday, and he will be eased back in as he works as the Tigers' designated hitter. Since the All-Star break, Keith is slashing .234/.280/.330 with seven runs scored, two home runs and six RBI across 100 plate appearances.

Keith was deemed day-to-day Friday with left hamstring soreness stemming from a cramp he felt Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keith was held out of the Tigers lineup Friday and was described as "banged up." However, we now know the specifics of Keith's status and the team confirmed he isn't dealing with anything serious. Zach McKinstry is starting at second base Friday and would likely remain at second if Keith misses additional time.

Keith is "banged up a little bit" and is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
After starting seven consecutive games, Keith will get the night off to rest and recover. This late in the season, it's not abnormal for players to be dealing with minor aches and pains, as seems to be the case with Keith. Zach McKinstry will bat seventh and play second base for Friday's series opener.
