Tomlinson is in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, batting seventh.
The Dodgers will have ace lefty Clayton Kershaw on the hill Saturday, leaving Bruce Bochy to use a right-handed-heavy lineup. Tomlinson will place Joe Panik to make his first start of the season Saturday. Despite having a perceived platoon edge as a right-handed hitter, Tomlinson is 0-for-6 with three strikeouts and a walk lifetime against Kershaw.
