News and Notes: Feldman, K-Rod, Henderson, Beachy and more.

Here's the latest news from around major league baseball that could impact your fantasy league:

• After getting traded from the Cubs to the Orioles, Scott Feldman had a solid debut for his new club.  He went 6 innings giving up just 2 earned runs on 6 hits and no walks while striking out 6, though he didn't pick up the win.  He had a solid 3.46 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with the Cubs and going to a much better team should help him improve on his 7 wins on the year.  Sounds good, right?  Wrong.  He never has been a very good pitcher, with a career 4.66 ERA and 1.39 WHIP, so don't let this solid stretch of pitching fool you.  Also, moving to the AL East certainly isn't going to make things easier for him.  Nothing to see here, folks.

•  Francisco Rodriguez picked up his 7th save for the Brewers last night while Jim Henderson owners let out a collective groan.  It was assumed that Henderson would be given back the closer's gig after Rodriguez picked up career save #300, but this was #301.  Henderson hasn't exactly been lights out lately, so although Rodriguez worked around a couple baserunners last night, it'd be hard to imagine the Brewers manager Ron Roenicke fixing what ain't broke for now.  I have been hearing that both Rodriguez and Henderson have come up in trade discussions, so maybe they are both closing games by the trade deadline.

•  In other closer news, Heath Bell, who earned save #15 last night, will hold on to the job for a bit while J.J. Putz builds his arm strength back up.  I know Putz owners are worried Bell will put a few solid saves together and will end up keeping the job, but you shouldn't worry.  Bell is terrible and David Hernandez has been shaky lately as well, so Arizona doesn't have many options.  As long as Putz throws a couple clean innings over the next week he'll get the job back.  On the other hand, the Diamondbacks are rumored to be in the market for relievers, so if they bring in a proven closer (like K-Rod) Bell and Putz may both be out of luck.  Cross your fingers Putz owners.

• Brandon Beachy, coming back from elbow surgery, threw an extended bullpen session on Wednesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon.  One of the best pitchers in the league before his injury last year, Beachy could be a great boost to your rotation in the second half.  If you have an open DL spot on your team, I'd suggest stashing him now.  As soon as he starts putting up zeros in the minors, he'll get scooped up fast.

• Another impact player on the mend is Arizona outfielder Adam Eaton.  The young speedster has finally been cleared to play in the field (elbow) and was a great sleeper candidate coming into the year before his injury.  If your team could use help in the stolen base category, jump on this guy fast before another owner beats you to him.  As long as he doesn't suffer a setback he should be stealing bases for the Diamondbacks within the next 7-10 days.

• It has been discovered that Chris Davis made a deal with a crossroads demon who agreed to bestow upon Davis the ability to win the MVP award this year in return for his soul.  While you should certainly take advantage of the deal this year, his long-term prospects don't look very good.  The demon could come to collect as soon as next year.
