The Royals optioned Gentry to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Gentry was added to Kansas City's 40-man roster in November in order to protect him from being selected during the Rule 5 Draft, but he was never a likely bet to make the Opening Day roster. The 25-year-old spent last season at Omaha and had a .253/.370/.421 slash line with 16 homers and 14 steals in 129 games, and there's a decent chance he makes his MLB debut at some point in 2024.
