SAN FRANCISCO -- When Angel Pagan had to go on the disabled list Tuesday, the San Francisco Giants not only summoned Jarrett Parker from Triple-A Sacramento but also thrust him immediately into the starting lineup.They had no choice.The Giants have been carrying only four outfielders on their active roster, even with Hunter Pence not having been able to do anything except pinch hit since Friday because of a hamstring issue.It demonstrates the confidence manager Bruce Bochy has in career infielder Kelby Tomlinson.Tomlinson was a surprisingly effective long-term fill-in for injured Joe Panik at second base last season. He was so good, in fact, he was told to work on his outfield skills over the winter to maximize his playing opportunities once Panik returned for 2016.Tomlinson put those skills to good use in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the San Diego Padres, making three catches in left field, including a shoestringer to deny Matt Kemp.His most impressive play involved his arm. He gunned down Yangervis Solarte trying to score from second base on a first-inning single with an on-the-fly strike to catcher Trevor Brown.Tomlinson added a double and an RBI single, giving him 17 hits in his last 35 at-bats (.486).The start was his 15th of the season, two of which have come in left field. The others have been at second base (nine), shortstop (three) and third base (one).

INF Kelby Tomlinson was 2-for-3 with two infield singles on Saturday night, the second after a late scoring change, when he made his third start of the season at shortstop to give left-handed hitting SS Brandon Crawford a day off against Arizona LHP Patrick Corbin.

INF Kelby Tomlinson filled in for Matt Duffy, making his first start at third base since 2011, and he likely will remain in the lineup in the outfield the rest of the series as Giants manager Bruce Bochy looks to give OFs Angel Pagan and Hunter Pence a break over the next couple of days. "He played everywhere in the spring and did a great job everywhere he played," Bochy said of Tomlinson, who went 0-for-4 Monday.
