The San Francisco Giants have agreed to terms with free-agent outfielder Craig Gentry (Orioles) on a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training. He spent most of the 2018 major league season with the Orioles organization, posting a slash line of .269/.321/.346 across 68 games in the majors. He is expected to head to the team's minor-league camp, but he might get a chance to prove himself during Cactus League games with the big club. The 35-year-old has a chance to win a bench spot, as the Giants have two outfield starting jobs and bench spots all available. However, even if he breaks camp with the team, his fantasy value in NL-only leagues if rather minimal.
The Baltimore Orioles are activating outfielder Craig Gentry (rib) from the disabled list ahead of Friday's game. He's not much to look at with the bat, hitting .244 with no homers and eight RBI in 123 at-bats this year, but he can help in AL-only leagues with his speed (10 thefts). Expect Gentry to play a lot this weekend with Adam Jones on bereavement leave.
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Craig Gentry (rib) will begin his rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday. Gentry has been out since June 23 and is hitting only .244/.306/.301 with no home runs, eight RBI and 10 stolen bases in 59 games. He could see regular playing time when he returns, but he's only an option in AL-only leagues for his speed.
Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Austin Hays (ankle) will start his rehab assignment with Short-Season Aberdeen on Friday, while outfielder Craig Gentry (rib) will begin his on Monday with Single-A Delmarva. With the O's in rebuild mode and looking to trade off more pieces before the July 31 non-waiver deadline, both Hays and Gentry could see regular playing time in the second half. Hays is the team's No. 4 prospect, so he obviously has more upside and appeal in fantasy leagues.
Craig Gentry Placed On DL; Jimmy Yacabonis To Start Thursday
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Craig Gentry (rib) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left rib fracture, per the Associated Press via Washington Post. The Orioles recalled pitcher Jimmy Yacabonis and utility man Steve Wilkerson from Triple-A Norfolk in corresponding moves after both Gentry and Darren O'Day (hamstring) were placed on the DL. Yacabonis is expected to start on Thursday against the Mariners in place of injured Dylan Bundy (ankle). Yacabonis has a 3.14 ERA but an unimpressive 6.79 K/9 rate and a 3.31 BB/9 rate in 13 starts at Triple-A this season. Amidst all of this news, the only actionable player is Bundy, who all fantasy owners should hang onto.
Craig Gentry Will Play Against The Twins on Tuesday
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Craig Gentry(hamstring) will finally play in a spring training game on Tuesday. He's been held back by a balky hamstring, but he seems to be in better condition now. Gentry is a bit behind in the competition for an extra outfield slot, but there's still some time for him to be able to convince manager Buck Showalter. Still, if he hits .900 this Spring, take it with a serious grain of salt.
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Craig Gentry (hamstring) expects to return to Grapefruit League action on Tuesday. Gentry has been dealing with a sore left hamstring, but has made progress. He is hoping to win a bench spot with the Orioles.
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Craig Gentry is going to be held out until after the team's off day on Monday as a precaution with his hamstring. It's a smart move for the team even though Gentry has said that he's feeling much better. Even though he's a fourth outfielder, losing him for an extended time would hurt the team's depth if another outfielder went down.
According to Roch Kubatko of MASN, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Craig Gentry(hamstring) will only be out a few more days before resuming baseball activities. He said that his hamstring is much better. Gentry is hoping to make the team as a reserve outfielder and will only play a lot if a regular gets hurt and misses an extended period of time.
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Craig Gentry has soreness in his left hamstring and will miss a few games, according to Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com. Gentry, who is really not a fantasy factor unless all the regular Orioles outfielders got hurt or fell into a sinkhole, is in camp on a Minor League deal as insurance. Only keep an eye on him if disaster strikes Baltimore.
