The lack of home run and steal potential here caps Keith’s fantasy upside, but he’s hitting third for a Tigers team that’s currently scoring a whole bunch of runs. His playing time against lefties remains a bit iffy,

He finally got over that ignominious threshold with his two-homer performance against the Blue Jays Thursday, and now has seven hits over his past three games, raising his season-long OPS by nearly 100 points as a result. It's a limited track record of success, but it is, I think, the start of Lowe being well worth the wait.
