Detroit Tigers second baseman Colt Keith left Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers after colliding with teammate Akil Baddoo in the third inning.

The crash occurred when both players attempted to make a play on a pop-up hit to shallow right field by Brewers catcher William Contreras.

Keith, who entered the season as one of the Tigers' top prospects, walked off the field under his own power and was replaced by Zach McKinstry. Baddoo stayed in the game at right field.

Detroit announced he's dealing with left knee discomfort, the severity of which is still to be determined.

Keith said Sunday that there's no structural damage to his knee, according to Evan Woodbery of MLive Media Group.
