“The Tigers are now willing to play Keith at third base, as he has received p
ractice reps there recently. The 23-year-old is available to play third base
— effective Wednesday, June 4. If all goes well, Keith could settle in as the
primary third baseman, which would fill a gaping hole for the Tigers.”
根据记者Evan Petzold 的报导，老虎队现在已经准备好让 Keith 重返三垒位置，他最近
也开始参与三垒守备的练习。这位 23 岁的球员自 6 月 4 日（周三）起已具备上场守三
垒的条件。如果一切顺利，他有机会成为球队的主力三垒手，填补老虎队在该守位上的巨
大空缺。
"We're curious about how we can maximize this roster," manager A.J. Hinch said
before Wednesday's game. "I don't know that it will be something that is prim
ary, or I don't know that it's something you're going to see a lot of, but the
re are a lot of times during games — as we do use our whole roster — where b
eing able to put him over there could be very advantageous."
老虎队总教练 A.J. Hinch 在周三赛前表示：
“我们正在思考怎么样才能最大化这套阵容的使用方式。我不确定 Keith 担任三垒手会
不会成为主要方案，或者会不会经常看到这样的安排，但在很多比赛情境中——尤其当我
们使用全队战力的时候——能够让他守三垒可能会是一个很有利的选项。”
President of baseball operations Scott Harris — who signed Keith to a six-yea
r, $28.6 million contract in January 2024 before Keith had made his MLB debut
— moved Keith to second to "save a little bit of the load on his arm," but he
also said the Tigers weren't "closing the door on third base at all."
老虎棒球事务总裁 Scott Harris 在 Keith 还没登上大联盟时，便与他签下 6 年 2,860
万美元的合约。当时 Harris 将他移防到二垒，以“减轻肩膀负担”，但也强调“我们
并没有关上让他回三垒的大门”。
The Tigers have a logjam on the right side of the infield: The success of Spen
cer Torkelson at first base and Gleyber Torres at second leave the Tigers with
no choice but to put Keith at designated hitter. That forces Kerry Carpenter
— whom the Tigers would prefer at designated hitter to protect his health —
to spend a majority of his time in right field, thus limiting opportunities fo
r Wenceel Pe rez and Justyn-Henry Malloy.
老虎队目前在内野右侧出现拥挤的情形，Spencer Torkelson 在一垒表现稳定；Gleyber
Torres 在二垒也成为常驻主力；这导致 Keith 被摆在DH的位置，但这样一来，球队原本
希望保护健康、让他担任 DH 的 Kerry Carpenter 只好转到外野（右外野）守备，进而
压缩了 Wenceel Perez 与 Justyn-Henry Malloy 的出赛机会。

心得：Keith 在小联盟的时候，肩膀有受过伤，所以2023年之后就没有守过三垒了，现在
老虎三垒缺人，把Keith 放到三垒，也可以解决内野的右半边比较拥挤的问题。
