Tigers scratch Colt Keith from lineup with sore wrist against Astros, a day after he hit 3 homers
Keith was sidelined after a three-homer, six-RBI game as the Tigers adjusted their lineup against Houston.
- The Detroit Tigers scratched Colt Keith from the lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Astros due to a sore right wrist sustained during the previous night's game.
- Keith's soreness stems from a defensive play during Monday's 9-3 win, when he backhanded a ball behind third base and slipped after making an off-balance throw to first.
- The 24-year-old Keith hit three home runs and knocked in six RBIs during that victory, including an opposite-field shot into the Crawford Boxes in the ninth inning.
- Kerry Carpenter moved into the designated hitter role to replace Keith, while Wenceel Perez was inserted into right field for Carpenter's previous position.
- Only Hall of Fame outfielder Al Kaline was younger than Keith when he launched three home runs in a game for the Tigers franchise, having done so at age 20 on April 17, 1955.
