The Royals called up outfielder Tyler Gentry to fill in for injured outfielder Hunter Renfroe.
That move was calling up Gentry, ranked as the Royals’ No. 15 prospect by MLB Pipeline. The 25-year-old outfielder is slashing .256/.346/.429 with 13 home runs in 105 games for the Storm Chasers this season, but he’s really turned things around post-All-Star break.
“Since June, he’s been really swinging the ball well,” Quatraro said. “My impressions are [that] he’s a gamer. He plays hard. He’s got a great arm. He puts good at-bats together. He drives the ball to all fields.
