  "summary": "Troy Melton and Colt Keith, two key Tigers starters, have been placed on injured reserve as the season winds down. Melton, who had been dealing with right arm fatigue, will be on the 15-day injured list after leaving a game against the White Sox in the fourth inning due to his condition. Keith suffered a left thumb sprain and has been on the 10-day injured list since September 20, leading to his season ending after 140 games played. Both players will make room for Jace Jung and River Ryan on the roster as the Tigers prepare for the final six games of the season.",
