The Halos called up outfielder Michael Hermosillo from AAA Salt Lake to take over in right field with the Angels suddenly needing to add depth in the outfield.

Justin Upton is currently listed as day-to-day as he recovers from being hit by a pitch on his left hand Thursday and Chris Young will play in Upton's typical left field role.

Hermosillo, listed as the 9th-ranked prospect in the Angels organization by MLB.com, will make his major league debut batting ninth Friday vs. the Tampa Bay Rays (6:30p starting with #AngelsLive).
