Tigers' Colt Keith: Out for season with thumb sprain
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
Rotowire
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.

Keith was scratched from the lineup Monday due to left thumb soreness and is sitting Tuesday for a second consecutive game. It's unclear how long he's been dealing with the injury, but Keith has a .136/.240/.227 slash line and 30 percent strikeout rate over his past 18 games.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Scratched with thumb injury
Rotowire
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
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.

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.
Keith hit his fifth home run of the season in the fourth inning against Houston starter Spencer Arrighetti. All five of the infielder's long balls have come in the last 13 games, and he has a .947 OPS during that span. For the season, Keith has a .675 OPS, but that figure should continue to climb if he can maintain his recent power production.
