OAKLAND – Craig Gentry is back in the big leagues and hoping to re-insert himself into the A’s outfield conversation.
He was recalled Tuesday along with infielder Max Muncy, and though a 3½-month stay in the minors is not what Gentry had in mind this season, he thinks he’s better off for it.

Expected to be part of a center field platoon, Gentry hit .
