Updating a previous note, it appears that Tomlinson will play on the short side of a platoon at second base alongside Alen Hanson, as reported by Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Tomlinson retreated to the bench Tuesday against Padres right-hander Tyson Ross, which should be the norm while Joe Panik (thumb) is sidelined for the next six weeks. The utility infielder should still receive two or three starts per week (as he had prior to Panik's surgery), but those in need of a fill-in at the middle infield position should look more at Hanson, who started at the keystone Tuesday and recorded his second steal.
