Keith (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Kansas City. 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. 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 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles. 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. 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.
