The Royals designated outfielder Tyler Gentry for assignment and promoted left-hander Hill from Triple-A Omaha. Gentry, who debuted last season without any hits, has struggled in Triple-A with a .205 batting average in 2025. This marks his least productive season in three years at that level after strong performances in lower minor leagues. Gentry can either be traded or placed on waivers, allowing the Royals to keep him as a depth option if unclaimed, as he has no prior outright assignments or three years of major league service.
Tyler Gentry has been designated for assignment by the Royals. His spot on the 40-man roster is taken by left-hander Hill, who has been promoted from Triple-A.
Gentry made his big league debut last year, with no hits in five plate appearances, and has struggled in Triple-A this season with a .205 batting average.
This marks Gentry's third season in Triple-A, showing the least productivity of his career after previously strong performances in High-A and Double-A.
The Royals will either trade Gentry or place him on outright waivers within five days, where he could potentially be assigned to Omaha.
