• Tigers' Colt Keith: Out for season with thumb sprain

  09/21/2026 • By RotoWire

  The Tigers placed Keith on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left thumb sprain. He missed a couple games last week with thumb soreness, and subsequent testing revealed a sprain. The injury will bring an end to the season for Keith, who finishes with a .258/.322/.406 batting line and 10 home runs over 140 contests for the Tigers. Gleyber Torres and/or Eduardo Valencia could handle designated-hitter duties for the Tigers in the final week while Keith is out.

• Tigers' Colt Keith: Sitting out Thursday

  Keith is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the White Sox. Keith missed two games earlier this week with a left thumb injury before returning to action Wednesday. The Tigers are facing a righty in Erick Fedde on Thursday, so it's possible Keith's thumb is still bothersome and causing another absence. Spencer Torkelson is at first base, and Gleyber Torres will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter Thursday.

• Tigers' Colt Keith: Scratched with thumb injury

  Keith was scratched from Monday's lineup against Toronto due to left thumb soreness. The injury may have flared up during the Tigers' weekend series against the Rockies, and Hao-Yu Lee will now start at third base Monday. Keith will undergo more tests so that the medical staff can determine a recovery timeline, but the 25-year-old infielder can be considered day-to-day for now.

• Tigers' Colt Keith: Powers team to victory Wednesday

  09/09/2026 • By RotoWire

  Keith went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins. Keith was eventually lifted for pinch hitter Spencer Torkelson, but not before he clubbed his 10th home run of the season just three batters into the game to give Detroit an early 2-0 lead. The 25-year-old is seeing more time at first base lately in place of the struggling Torkelson, and that arrangement could stick down the stretch, at least against right-handed starters, where the left-handed bat of Keith holds the platoon advantage. He's not been an elite fantasy performer by any means, though his current playing time gives Keith a fairly stable floor.
