Keith went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Tuesday in the Tigers' 15-1 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Keith has produced consecutive two-hit games to begin the four-game series with the Mariners, bringing his slash line up to .253/301/.356 since the All-Star break. Though Keith hasn't provided the power production he demonstrated in the minors in 2023 -- he slugged 27 home runs between Triple-A Toledo and Double-A Erie -- he's made contact at a steady enough clip (17.8 percent strikeout rate) to keep his batting average afloat.

Seven of his 11 home runs this season have come in the month of July, as he's found a home at the top of the Tigers lineup. Keith is hitting .347 in July and has raised his slash line to .259/.317/.411 this season.

Keith isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi will toe the slab for Toronto on Saturday, meaning the lefty-hitting Keith will begin the game on the bench. Andy Ibanez will get the nod at second base while batting leadoff.

Keith went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 11-9 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Keith hit a two-run double in the second inning, singled in the sixth and then tied the game on a two-run home run in the ninth. The rookie might not be looking forward to the All-Star break, as he is scorching in July with six multi-hit efforts, five long balls, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored. On the year, he is hitting .253 with nine homers, 37 RBI, 35 runs scored and five steals across 313 plate appearances.

Keith is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Keith has a .351/.442/.784 slash line with two triple and four homers through his first 10 games of July, but he'll sit Friday as lefty James Paxton takes the mound for Los Angeles. Andy Ibanez will man the keystone and bat leadoff in the series opener.

Keith went 1-for-2 with a walk, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Keith continues to chug along as he extended his hitting streak to eight games. During that stretch, the rookie has batted .419 with six extra-base hits. After looking shaky to start the season, Keith now appears to be a solid fantasy contributor, and fantasy mangers should jump on the 22-year-old if he's still available in their leagues given his recent performance and considerable upside.

Keith 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 9-8, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
It's hard to believe that Keith was batting just .154 with no home runs at the end of April, as the rookie has turned it on since then. In 55 games from May onward, Keith is batting .294 with eight long balls and 27 RBI, and he has four homers and seven RBI over the last six contests alone. The 22-year-old was a promising prospect in the minors and he's starting to deliver on that promise in the majors, much to the delight of fantasy managers.

Keith went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Reds. He also stole a base.
EDGE Analysis
Keith extended his hitting streak to five games, and he's gone 9-for-21 during the stretch with three home runs and a stolen base. The 22-year-old is starting to settle in at the MLB level offensively, plus he's running a bit more than anticipated, as he never stole more than four bases in a season during his time in the minors. Keith is still known more for his power than his speed, but any contributions in the steals category is a welcome bonus.
