Royals' Tyler Gentry: Promoted Sunday

The Royals recalled Gentry from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old will join the Royals for his first taste of the big leagues as Hunter Renfroe heads to the injured list due to a hamstring strain. Gentry has a .251/.341/.423 slash line with 13 homers and six steals in 105 games with Omaha this season, and he could see some opportunities against left-handed pitching while Renfroe is sidelined.
