The Angels haven't made any transactions Thursday since dropping their series finale to the Yankees. But one could be in store as the team returns home for a game against the Houston Astros on Friday.

Gustavo Campero was scratched from the Salt Lake Bees' lineup less than two hours before the Bees' home game against the Sacramento River Cats.

Campero has already been optioned to Triple-A twice this season, most recently last Friday. Position players must remain in the minors for 10 days after being optioned, unless they are promoted to replace an injured player on the active major league roster.

If Campero is headed back to Anaheim on Friday, it would be to replace an injured player on the Angels' roster.
