Overview

• Keith left Thursday’s game against Cleveland in visible pain after telling manager A.J. Hinch he needed to come out, which Hinch described as very concerning.
• The injured list move rules him out for the remainder of the regular season, and any postseason role depends on his recovery.
• If the stint is backdated to Thursday, the earliest he could be activated is Sunday, Sept. 28.
• Detroit recalled infielder Jace Jung from Triple-A Toledo as the corresponding move after he hit .252 with 17 home runs for the Mud Hens this year.
• Keith, a multi-position regular, has 13 home runs with a .256/.333/.413 line, and his absence impacts a club trying to hold off a Guardians push that has cut the AL Central gap to 3.5 games.
