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.

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.

Rotowire

Tigers' Colt Keith: Records first stolen base in win
Rotowire
Keith went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Keith tallied his first stolen base of the year as he continued his strong start from a contact perspective. The 24-year-old is now slashing .326/.360/.400 through 30 games, though he's yet to go deep and only has six RBI. Keith also isn't likely to steal many more bases, as he only had one of them in 2025, but his other counting stats should begin to tick upward if he keeps swinging a hot bat.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Receiving afternoon off vs. lefty
Rotowire
Keith is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.
Detroit didn't face a left-handed starting pitcher through its first 16 games of the season, but the Tigers have now taken on a pair of southpaws (Cole Ragans and Kris Bubic) in their three-game series with the Royals.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Could be set for timeshare
Rotowire
After an underwhelming spring training, Keith may end up splitting time at third base with several other players, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Keith sported a .662 OPS and no home runs across 17 Grapefruit League games. His middling results, along with a deep Detroit roster that features Zach McKinstry and Matt Vierling as primary options at the hot corner, could force Keith into something of a timeshare. Top prospect Kevin McGonigle is on the roster as well and is expected to see most of his time at shortstop, though he could also slide over to third on days when Javier Baez plays up the middle. Either way, Keith will likely need to produce at the plate if he wants to hold onto regular playing time.
