Tyler Gentry: Everything you need to know

The Tigers signed Gentry to a minor-league contract and optioned him to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. Gentry appeared in 86 games for Triple-A Omaha in 2025, where he posted a .206/.284/.371 slash line with four steals, nine home runs and 34 RBI in 332 plate appearances. He appeared in three major-league games for the Royals in 2024, though he's unlikely to see any action for the Tigers unless Detroit are in desperate need for outfield depth.

Gentry was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday. Gentry cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Royals on Tuesday, and he will now report to Omaha. The outfielder has produced a .205 average with five homers, 24 RBI, 30 runs scored and three stolen bases over 65 contests at Triple-A this season.

The Royals optioned Gentry to Triple-A Omaha on Monday. Gentry got a cup of coffee with the Royals last season, going hitless in five plate appearances. The 26-year-old doesn't have much left to prove in the minors but looks to be pretty far down in the Royals' outfield pecking order.
