Gentry turned in a trio of multi-hit games for the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate at Albuquerque before landing on the 7-day injured list a couple weeks ago due to an undisclosed issue. The prospect of rehabbing the injury in the minors may not have been appealing to a player with more than seven years of big-league service time, so the 35-year-old called it a career. Gentry acted mostly as a reserve outfielder while appearing in 602 career games between the Rangers, Athletics, Angels and Orioles. He'll retire with a .262/.333/.339 slash line over 1,402 major-league plate appearances.

The 35-year-old has hit .262/.333/.339 with just seven homers in his 10-year big-league career. He'll serve as organizational depth for the Rockies this season.

Gentry was released by the organization after being designated for assignment last week. He will now be free to sign with any organization of his choosing. Gentry hit .269 with a .667 OPS across 68 games for the Orioles this year.

Gentry was cast off the 40-man roster in order to clear up another spot for one of the Orioles' prospects that will be joining the team once rosters expand Saturday. In 68 games with Baltimore this year, Gentry has slashed .269/.321/.346 with 11 RBI and 12 stolen bases. He will now be subject to the waiver wire.
