Colt Keith Making First MLB Start at Third Base
Colt Keith will make his first career start at third base and will bat seventh on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Zach Eflin at Camden Yards. Third base has been a revolving door of mediocrity for the first-place Tigers this year among the likes of Zach McKinstry, Javier Baez and Andy Ibanez. Keith has been taking ground balls at the hot corner recently and will now get his first not at the hot corner in an actual game. The move allows Spencer Torkelson to start at first base, with Kerry Carpenter moving to the designated hitter spot. Keith initially came up as a third baseman in the minors, but he moved to the keystone after shoulder surgery in 2022. He may not gain eligibility for fantasy at third, but the Tigers figure to keep his bat in the lineup as much as possible. Keith has gone 5-for-19 (.263) with a double and two RBI in seven games in May.
