Tomlinson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
With Michael Morse landing on the concussion DL, Tomlinson was needed for reinforcements on the big-league bench. Not only can Tomlinson play all over the infield, but he has also been working on playing center field recently at Triple-A. He was hitting .290/.372/.346 with eight steals in 121 plate appearances at Triple-A.
