Keith was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals due to an illness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Keith had been slated to start at third base and bat leadoff, but instead Zach McKinstry will get the nod at the hot corner while center fielder Wenceel Perez sets the table. Assuming the illness isn't anything too debilitating, Keith should return to the lineup Monday versus the Athletics. He'd gone 0-for-8 with one walk and five strikeouts over his last three starts, on the heels of a five-game hitting streak.
