HOUSTON -- With the clubhouse still buzzing over the lack of an impact arm added to the rotation or bullpen, the Houston Astros continued to succumb to pitching injuries on Tuesday when relievers Michael Feliz and Tony Sipp landed on the 10-day disabled list.
Both Feliz (shoulder) and Sipp (calf) struggled in recent weeks, but that doesn't mitigate the concerns for the Astros, who have been piecing together their staff for the better part of two months, largely due to nagging injuries to starting pitchers.
Now the problems have shifted to their bullpen, which was already overworked, as the Astros prepare for the third game of a four-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.
