  • Colt Keith DH | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Named on ALDS roster

    Keith (ribs) is listed on the Tigers' ALDS roster.

    Keith landed on the injured list Sept. 19 due to right rib cage inflammation, and after sitting out the AL Wild Card Series versus Cleveland, the 24-year-old will now be available to play against Seattle in the ALDS. That being said, it remains unknown whether he will start Game 1 against the Mariners on Saturday. If he sits out, Zach McKinstry would likely continue to see action at the hot corner.

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Hoping to be back for ALDS

    The Tigers are hopeful that Keith (ribs) will be ready to play in the ALDS, should they advance, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Sidelined for the past two weeks with right rib cage inflammation, Keith played catch on the field at Progressive Field on Wednesday. He's also been able to participate in other baseball activities, including swinging a bat, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. Keith certainly appears to be moving in the right direction, but a decision on his availability for the ALDS could come down to the wire. With Keith sidelined, Zach McKinstry has been filling in at third base for the Tigers.

    Angels' Mike Trout: Ends 2025 season with homer

    Trout put the Angels on the board with a solo shot off Lance McCullers in the first inning before being replaced by Logan O'Hoppe in the third. Trout finished the season with a .798 OPS over 556 plate appearances, which was his lowest mark since the 2011 season (his first in the majors).

Overall, Springer posted a career-best .309 average with a .959 OPS, 32 homers, 84 RBI, 106 runs scored and 18 steals across 586 plate appearances in his 12th major-league campaign.
