Tomlinson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Alec Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Giants opted to bring closer Mark Melancon back from the disabled list Wednesday, leaving no room in the big leagues for Tomlinson. He collected just six hits during his 15-game stint in the big league, but his previous major-league experience and infield versatility could help him get back to San Francisco whenever more infield depth is needed.
