Overview
- The Tigers signed outfielder Tyler Gentry to a minor-league contract and assigned him to the Toledo Mud Hens for immediate depth.
- The move follows Parker Meadows going on the injured list and the club recalling Wenceel Pérez to the big-league roster.
- Gentry is not on the 40-man roster, so any promotion would require a corresponding move, though he still has a minor-league option.
- Toledo now has six outfielders, and only Trei Cruz is on Detroit’s 40-man roster, which makes him the easiest next call-up despite a slow start at the plate.
- Gentry, a 2020 third-round pick by the Royals, appeared in three MLB games in 2024 and went 0-for-5, then hit .206/.284/.371 with Triple-A Omaha in 2025.
