Eligibility
Kelby Tomlinson is a Giants' infield filler. With Joe Panik out injured, the Giants turned to Alen Hanson, leaving Tomlinson for pinch hitting and an occasional fill-in. Sunday, he delivered in a start with Hanson ailing. His two hits raised his average to .250.
Fantasy Impact
Tomlinson is a nice piece for the Giants, but he's not a fantasy option in any format.
Kelby Tomlinson started both parts of the doubleheader against the Dodgers and went 3-for-8. In the second game, he helped put the game to rest with a two-run double.
Fantasy Impact
Tomlinson will get a lot of play while Joe Panik is on the DL with a sprained thumb.
Kelby Tomlinson got his third start in the last four games and delivered nicely on Friday. Tomlinson was 2-for-3 to raise his average to .269. With both Joe Panik and Brandon Crawford slumping, and Tomlinson needing at-bats, the situation worked for the best.
Fantasy Impact
Tomlinson is a decent filler at three positions, but he is definitely a bench player for the Giants and at this point, he's not fantasy relevant.
Kelby Tomlinson, using excellent defense and timely hitting, has made the Giants' roster. He will back up both second base and shortstop.
Fantasy Impact
Tomlinson is not roster worthy unless Crawford or Panik get injured. He has good speed and is a decent hitter.
Kelby Tomlinson is battling quite a few infielders for one of the Giants' bench spots. He looked great on Sunday with two hard-hit balls, including a run-scoring triple.
Fantasy Impact
Tomlinson will likely make the team as the number one utility infielder.
