Detroit Tigers second baseman Colt Keith collided with right fielder Akil Baddoo while chasing a fly ball in the third inning of Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers at Comerica Park.

Keith exited the game with left knee discomfort.

He underwent an MRI after the collision, but the Tigers didn't provide any updates. Keith didn't speak to reporters after Saturday's game, but he plans to talk before Sunday's game.

"I think he's doing well," Baddoo said after Saturday's 5-4 loss. "That's a question for Colt to answer, but he should be good."

Keith tracked a fly ball near the foul line in shallow right field, moving from the infield into the outfield. Meanwhile, Baddoo — who had priority as the outfielder — ran to the ball from his spot in right field, moving toward the infield on his pursuit.

Both players tired to make the catch, but they collided and fell to the grass.

The ball dropped in front of them.

"Those plays are always tough," Baddoo said. "Those plays, you got to make. It's just unfortunate. We were probably both calling it at the same time. He probably didn't hear me. It's plays like that you don't really want to happen, so it's unfortunate."

Baddoo sat up almost immediately, but Keith rolled around on the ground before eventually sitting up. First baseman Gio Urshela picked up the ball and threw it into the infield.

Manager A.J. Hinch ran to the outfield alongside three trainers — including head athletic trainer Ryne Eubanks and assistant athletic trainer Kelly Rhoades — to evaluate Keith.

"I don't really have one," Hinch said, when asked for an update. "He came out of the game, as you guys saw, and we'll get together with the doc and find out what it is."

Keith squatted and bent his left leg to test his knee, only to come out of the game. He walked from shallow right field to the dugout, but he didn't need any help from the trainers. He then went into the clubhouse with Eubanks for further tests.

On the play, Keith was charged with a fielding error.

He has seven errors this season.

"The collision is just communication," Hinch said. "The video showed that they both called it. I thought it was Akil's ball all the way, but I haven't seen Colt since he left the field, so I haven't had a chance to talk with him."

The Tigers signed Keith to a six-year, $28.6 million contract, which can be worth up to $82 million over nine seasons, before his first MLB game. As a rookie, the 22-year-old has a .215 batting average with two home runs, 13 walks and 36 strikeouts in 57 games.

Keith, a top prospect, is hitting .048 (1-for-21) across six games in June after hitting .091 (1-for-11) in March, .163 (13-for-80) in April and .342 (25-for-73) in May.
