Keith will start at third base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Keith will set the table for the Tigers for the fourth straight game, as manager A.J. Hinch has elevated the 24-year-old and his .832 June OPS in the lineup. Additionally, Hinch appears increasingly comfortable using Keith at third base, a position he hadn't played since 2023. Keith looks poised to gain third base eligibility in most fantasy leagues before the All-Star break if his current usage holds.
