Getting breather Keith is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.
Another two-hit game Keith went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Tuesday in the Tigers' 15-1 win over the Mariners.
Impact 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.

The infielder has added a decent .251/.307/.388 slash line with 11 home runs, 42 RBI, 41 runs scored, 11 doubles and three triples across 397 plate appearances. Keith continues to see a majority of the playing time at second base despite his fairly average performance, and he also regularly bats in the top third of the order.

Triples, scores twice in win 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.
Impact 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.

Goes deep again Tuesday 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.
Impact 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. 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.

Tallies two hits, swipes base 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.
Impact 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.
