Sipp, 32, is 0-1 wth a 4.66 ERA in and a 1.55 WHIP in 13 games. Interesting the team didn't call up Kevin Chapman, who is on the 40-man roster and a lefty. Chapman, 28, has struggled in Triple-A in 2016, he is 1-1 with a 7.59 ERA in 10 2/3 innings.

Feliz, 22, is already on his third sent with the Astros this season. The right-hander made the opening day roster as the Astros' long man. But was sent down for Chris Devenski after a long outing (4 1/3 IP) against the Yankees. Feliz hasn't allowed a run over even a hit over his last eight major innings.
