Overview

• Keith was placed on the injured list with right rib cage inflammation and said Saturday the issue is an intercostal strain with no timetable for return.
• A postseason appearance remains possible under MLB rules if he is cleared, but his status depends on how quickly the inflammation subsides.
• Manager A.J. Hinch said Keith is not feeling great and the team is awaiting doctors’ feedback after he pulled himself from Thursday’s game against Cleveland.
• Detroit recalled infielder Jace Jung from Triple-A Toledo to fill the roster spot after a .252, 17-homer season with the Mud Hens.
• The Tigers plan to cover third base with Andy Ibáñez, Zach McKinstry, Trey Sweeney and Jung as their AL Central lead sits at 3.5 games with nine to play.
