Tomlinson is batting .405 (15-for-37) with eight runs and two stolen bases over his last 10 games with Triple-A Sacramento.

Tomlinson was sent to the minors for a rehab assignment after injuring his thumb in July, but with the Giants opting to only have a four-man bench, he has stayed in the minors ever since. Two of the team's four bench bats at the major league level are infielders, so it is unlikely that Tomlinson will be called up to serve in a backup infield role. However, Tomlinson has played six games in the outfield this season, making him a possible option to be called up if the Giants opt to go with a more traditional five-man bench.
