Gentry may open the season on the small side of a platoon in left field with Daniel Nava, the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gentry could also take away a few late-inning at-bats over the course of the year if the Angels don't upgrade the position in the coming weeks. In previous opportunities to play regularly against left-handed starters, Gentry has shown the ability to deliver 20-25 steals while hitting for an acceptable batting average. At age 32, it's reasonable to expect similar production from him during his first season in Anaheim.
