Tigers' Colt Keith: Three hits, steal in win
Rotowire
Keith went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-0 win over the Mariners.
Keith has seen his playing time take a hit lately despite going 14-for-29 (.483) over his last 10 games. The infielder was seeing decent time at third base, but Javier Baez's recent return from an ankle injury has pushed rookie Kevin McGonigle over to the hot corner more frequently. Keith still has a path to at-bats as the designated hitter while Kerry Carpenter (foot) is out. On the year, Keith is batting .273 with a .745 OPS, eight home runs, five steals, 29 RBI, 41 runs scored, 13 doubles and four triples over 321 plate appearances.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Tallies four hits Saturday
Rotowire
Keith went 4-for-4 with a run and two RBI in a 7-0 victory versus the Angels on Saturday.
All four of Keith's knocks were singles, and he added a sacrifice fly to round out a big day at the plate. Not only did the four hits represent a season-high mark, but Saturday snapped a 22-contest stretch without a multi-hit performance for Keith. He batted a paltry .169 with a .624 OPS during that span, so fantasy managers in shallow leagues are likely going to want to see a prolonged period of production before plucking Keith off the waiver wire.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Blasts eighth home run
Rotowire
Keith went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-2 win over the Phillies.
Keith is off to a nice start in the power department this month, as he now has three home runs in seven July games. Overall, the 24-year-old has tallied all eight of his long balls this season in his last 23 contests after failing to go deep over his first 62 games of the year. Keith is building some momentum heading into the second half and starting to emerge as a useful fantasy asset due to his ability to leave the yard.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Launches two-run home run Tuesday
Rotowire
Keith went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.
Keith was eventually lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, but he made his mark well before then with his seventh home run of the season in the bottom of the first. The 24-year-old has hit all of those home runs in the past three weeks after beginning the year with no long balls across his first 62 games. Keith is trending upward, though the left-handed batter doesn't play much against southpaws.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Goes deep Thursday
Rotowire
Keith went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers.
Keith got only two at-bats before getting pulled for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, but he still made an impact when he took Nathan Eovaldi deep in the fifth. After going the first 62 games of the year without leaving the yard, the 24-year-old has tallied all six of his long balls across his last 18 contests. During that span, Keith has an .869 OPS, compared to his .678 mark overall.

Rotowire
Keith went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 8-0 win over the Astros.

All five of the infielder's long balls have come in the last 13 games, and he has a .947 OPS during that span.
