Former Alabama star outfielder designated for assignment by MLB team
The outfielder was part of the corresponding move that also included Kansas City calling up veteran left-handed pitcher Rich Hill.
Gentry, a former third round pick by Kansas City from the 2020 MLB draft out of Alabama, has spent the majority of 2025 in the minor leagues of the Royals organization, doing so in Triple-A Omaha. With the Storm Chasers, Gentry has slashed .205/.277/.365 across 65 games with five home runs, 24 RBI, and three stolen bases.
The former Alabama outfielder has also appeared in three games with the Royals in the major leagues this season, but went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in limited action.

This legendary Panthers WR visited practice at Chiefs Training Camp on Sunday
The Kansas City Chiefs were visited by legendary Carolina Panthers wide receiver and current NFL Network analyst Steve Smith Sr. during a training camp practice session on Sunday, July 27. As the reigning AFC champions, Kansas City's players will face high expectations from fans and the media this season, a dynamic that was all too familiar for Smith during his outstanding 13-year tenure with the Panthers. Take a look at this picture of Smith walking to the field at Missouri Western State University with a member of the Chiefs' staff, which was posted to Twitter by Matt Foster of KSHB 41. A five-time Pro Bowler, Smith racked up 14,731 yards on 1031 catches for 81 receiving touchdowns through 16 regular-season campaigns. Though NFL Network hasn't yet featured videos of Smith's appearance at Chiefs Training Camp on its social media accounts, his insightful analysis of Kansas City's workouts should prove to be valuable for fans who haven't been able to see the team practice in St. Joseph firsthand.

Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Kevin Riley
Entering year two playing for his hometown team, could the 2025 season mark a breakout campaign for Alabama Crimson Tide running back Kevin Riley? A native of the Tuscaloosa area, Riley is coming off a true freshman season a year ago in which he did not see much action for the Crimson Tide. However, Riley came to Tuscaloosa as one of the highest-rated running backs in his recruiting class, and is a player who is certainly capable of emerging this season to potentially become a key contributor of Alabama's running back room. Here is a look at everything you need to know about Alabama running back Kevin Riley entering the 2025 season. Kevin Riley player information Kevin Riley career stats Entering year two of college football, Riley is coming off a true freshman season in which he did not play much for the Crimson Tide. Last season, Riley played in only two games where he rushed for 30 yards on 10 attempts, while also hauling in two receptions for nine yards. Kevin Riley 2024 stats As mentioned previously, Riley appeared in only two games during the 2024 season, which came against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Over that span, Riley rushed for 30 yards on 10 attempts, and caught two passes for nine yards. Kevin Riley recruiting ranking According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Riley came to Alabama considered as the nation's No. 75 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, as well as the No. 3 running back nationally. Riley, a four-star prospect who committed to Alabama in Dec. 2023 when he flipped from Miami, was also ranked the No. 7 player in the state of Alabama where he attended Tuscaloosa County High School. Kevin Riley 2025 season outlook When taking a look at Riley's potential impact this season, it is currently an unknown surrounding what the former four-star prospect's role might be. As to why, that is because Alabama's running back room returns two big names in starter Jam Miller and Richard Young, while also having added an experienced transfer in Dre Washington. However, Riley could also potentially emerge in that group as well, as the redshirt freshman could make an impact in multiple different ways from the running back position. Overall, expect Riley to improve on his season totals from a year ago, and to be a backup option at running back who could potentially emerge later in the season.
