The Tigers signed Gentry to a minor-league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Gentry appeared in 86 games for Triple-A Omaha in the Royals organization in 2025, posting a .206/.284/.371 slash line with nine home runs and four steals over 332 plate appearances. He appeared in three major-league games for the Royals in 2024, though he's unlikely to surface in Detroit this season unless the Tigers are in desperate need for outfield depth.
