Philadelphia Phillies star Zack Wheeler was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday night as the team revealed he had a "right upper extremity blood clot."The details of Wheelers injury were scant on Saturday night.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMDave Dombrowski, the Phillies president of baseball operations, said there wasnt a lot of information to give about Wheelers issue, but it would be evaluated further in Philadelphia. Paul Buchheit, the teams head athletic trainer, said Wheeler experienced "heaviness" in his arm and that doctors were called upon to properly diagnose Wheeler.Its unclear whether the clot was in an artery or a vein.Dr. Michael Jacobs, a retired team physician who previously worked for the Baltimore Orioles, explained to Fox News Digital on Sunday that, regardless of where the clot is located, it is a dangerous situation for Wheeler that needed to be dealt with immediately."The treatment of these gets to be a real problem," he said. "Ive dealt with baseball players whove had this and sometimes when a small artery gets pinched or clotted off, they actually just get rid of the artery and your body does OK they tie it off.PHILLIES' JHOAN DURAN FEELING '100 PERCENT' DAY AFTER TAKING LINER OFF ANKLE"Sometimes if its your axillary artery, they can either try to remove the clot by basically sending a wired device down there and opening it up like a stent would do on people who have heart disease."Jacobs said if its a vein issue, Wheeler could have the clot lysed. However, Wheeler would likely need to go on blood thinners if its successfully cleared."The problem is, in order to safely try to get back to where you want to be, No. 1, you have to get effective blood thinners for usually 4 to 8 to 12 (weeks) to three months to keep the blood vessels open."So, if youre on high-test blood thinners, we certainly could not clear anybody to play being on that kind of blood thinner."The Phillies have yet to say how long Wheeler will be out. The team recalled Aaron Nola for Sundays game against the Washington Nationals.Wheeler was an All-Star for the third time in his career this season. He has a 2.71 ERA with a league-leading 195 strikeouts. He threw 95 pitches against the Nationals on Friday in five innings.The Phillies started Sunday on top of the National League East five games up on the New York Mets.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terry Cole, the federal government's new designee to help run the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, vowed to let local cops "do their job again" to get rising crime under control.Cole was tapped by Attorney General Pam Bondi after the Trump administration announced on Monday a major intervention to crack down on crime in the nation's capital. The move came after several high-profile violent crimes, including the murder of a Congressional intern."We cannot afford to turn a blind eye," Cole told Fox News Channel's "The Story" on Tuesday. "We have tremendous cooperation, tremendous intel sharing, and what's most encouraging, the police are looking forward to doing their job again."According to an order released by Bondi on Friday, Coles role is defined as the "designee for the duration of the emergency declared by the President for the purpose of directing the Mayor of the District of Columbia to provide such services of the [MPD] as the Attorney General deems necessary and appropriate.""Attorney General Bondis new order is STRONGER because instead of rescinding just one bad MPD order this superseding order REQUIRES MPDs full cooperation with federal immigration authorities," a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital in an email on Saturday.DC REACHES LEGAL SETTLEMENT WITH TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OVER FEDERAL POLICE TAKEOVER"We are not backing down, as President Trump remains in control under the law to determine what is necessary and appropriate," the spokesperson added.Washington, D.C., Police Chief Pamela Smith will technically stay in her position, but Cole will play a key role in making sure city leaders such as Smith and Mayor Muriel Bowser comply with the federal governments requests, especially in cooperation with immigration authorities.Dozens of the arrests already made since the takeover have been of illegal immigrants, as ICE and other federal agencies are patrolling the streets of the capital."Attorney General Bondi just issued a new directive to Mayor Bowser requiring MPD to provide the services found necessary by her designee, DEA Administrator Terry Cole, to comply fully and completely with federal immigration law and authorities, regardless of any policies MPD might otherwise have. President Trump will continue pursuing all efforts to Make DC Safe Again and end violent crime despite liberal opposition," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement.AG SHOWDOWN: DC ATTORNEY GENERAL REJECTS US ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI ORDER AS 'UNLAWFUL'Cole has an extensive background in law enforcement, including working at the DEA for over 20 years before retiring from the federal government in 2020, according to his profile on the DEA website. Afterward, he was the Virginia Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security from 2023 to 2025."Im glad to see it happen under the leadership of Terry Cole," Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said on "Mornings with Maria" on Fox Business Network earlier this week, addressing how a similar law enforcement model will be employed in Northern Virginia in partnership with commonwealth and federal leaders.DEA HEAD SAYS PHONE CALLS ARE COMING FROM 'ALL OVER THE COUNTRY FROM FED AGENTS WANTING TO HELP IN DC"Terry Cole, who is now director and administrator of DEA, and is leading this effort on behalf of the administration, is the best man in the country to do this. I have huge confidence in him, and I want to thank President Trump for taking this big step," the Republican governor added.Youngkin noted in February that Cole played a major role in tackling illegal drugs in the commonwealth."His leadership of our Operation FREE initiative in Virginia resulted in the seizure of tens of thousands of pounds of illicit drugsincluding more than 70 million lethal doses of fentanyland has become a standard for collaboration between federal, state and local law enforcement," Youngkin stated. "He will put the safety and security of Americans first as head of the DEA. Its a great day to be an American and a bad day to be a drug dealer."

BROOKLYN, NY -- Zohran Mamdani told reporters on Sunday that the fatal shooting in New York City hours earlier was the latest example of the "scourge of gun violence" in the country's most populous city.New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed that there were 12 victims, including three fatalities, in a suspected gang-related shooting at the Taste of the City Lounge in the borough's Crown Heights section.During a canvass launch event in the Prospect Park neighborhood, Mamdani told reporters that the incident is "yet another example of the scourge of gun violence that has taken hold across so much of our city."The New York City Democratic mayoral nominee noted that just three weeks ago, the city experienced its deadliest mass shooting in 25 years when a gunman killed four people in Midtown Manhattan before taking his own life.DEADLIEST NYC SHOOTING IN DECADES TAKES CENTER STAGE IN MAYORAL RACE AS CANDIDATES SPAR ON PUBLIC SAFETYMamdani called for investing "in the very kind of programs and services that have been proven effective at combating this epidemic" of gun violence, specifically scaling up what he referred to as New York's crisis management system.MAMDANI DODGES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THREATS TO NYPD IN FIRST PRESSER SINCE DEADLY MANHATTAN SHOOTINGThe mayoral hopeful said on Sunday that he is proposing 275% increased investment in the Department of Community Safety.Last month's Manhattan shooting propelled Mamdani's past comments, including those calling to defund the NYPD, to center stage in the race for Gracie Mansion."My statements in 2020 were ones made amidst a frustration that many New Yorkers held at the murder of George Floyd," Mamdani responded last month when a reporter asked if he regretted any of his prior comments.Mamdani has since walked back his stance on defunding police, but his competitors, including former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, seized on such comments, telling CNN that Mamdani doesnt understand the "importance of NYPD."As details emerged on Sunday about the fatal shooting in Brooklyn, incumbent mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent, claimed his administration has driven down crime by removing illegal guns from the streets."What I can tell you, we will continue our aggressive pursuit to remove these illegal guns off our streets. Every single victim of violence, particularly gun violence, is one too many," he said.In a statement on X, Cuomo called the incident "another horrific mass shooting.""My heart goes out to the victims and to their loved ones. Public safety is, and always has been, Job 1. This isnt the time to defund or dismantle the police. We need more officers, not less, to keep our communities safe," Cuomo said, in an apparent political jab at Mamdani and his past comments.Meanwhile, the Republican mayoral nominee, Curtis Sliwa, CEO of the Guardian Angels, said his "thoughts are with the victims and their families after this latest shooting.""Cuomos pro-criminal laws created this mess, and Mamdanis radical agenda would only make it worse. The status quo has failed. Im the only candidate with the courage to restore law and order in NYC," Sliwa said in a statement on X.Fox News' CB Cotton contributed to this report.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty made a statement in the second preseason game of his career on Saturday night. This time, it came against the San Francisco 49ers.Jeantys number was called in the first quarter. He took the ball, found the hole and attacked the gap. He ran over 49ers defender Deommodore Lenoir on his way to the first down.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Raiders lost 22-19 and Jeanty rushed for 33 yards on seven carries and scored a touchdown. But it was the moment he and his teammates were talking about after the game.He said bowling over Lenoir was his "Im here" moment."Definitely today, for sure. And it takes time as a rookie to kind of gain that confidence. And I'm here, I've arrived, and it's time to keep going and make plays for this team," he said.Raiders quarterback Geno Smith lauded Jeantys play."Man, it fires me up just seeing him the way that he runs," Smith said. "He's running through people, and he's not shying away from contact. I think he's going to be a really special player, like I've always said, and I think he's just got to keep working.CHARGERS' QUENTIN JOHNSTON SUFFERS CONCUSSION ON HARD HIT FROM RAMS DEFENSIVE BACK"There's a lot of things that he can get better at as well, but to see him in space with the ball in his hands and how dynamic he is, it was great to see."Jeanty had another run on 3rd-and-long, which turned the head of head coach Pete Carroll."Chip [Kelly] had a call that he called to give him a chance, believing that he could do it, and the guys up front could take advantage," Carroll said of the play. "They're getting pass rush in loads right there, so you have to adjust your blocking, but we did a really nice job. The way he [Jeanty] hits the line of scrimmage, he gives you a feel, and I was really fired up about that. Everybody was on the sidelines as well with him getting his first touchdown, that helps us all."The Raiders season is still a few weeks away from kickoff, but there is definitely excitement around one of the top college football running backs from last season.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The Washington Post is a sinking ship with a captain missing in action. And according to its now-former fact-checker, that missing captain is its billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos."He has to be committed to it. If he's not committed to it, he should find someone else to own it," Glenn Kessler told Fox News Digital. "I feel like he was kind of committed to it. And then he's kind of an absentee owner, and he shouldn't be because it's, you know, one of the prime assets of American journalism."Kessler left the Post in July after more than 27 years at the paper and his final years there were not the best."What's so saddening is that five years ago, I would not have imagined The Washington Post would be in this state," Kessler said.WASHINGTON POST'S EFFORTS TO COURT CONSERVATIVES COULD DRIVE AWAY ITS LIBERAL READERS, EX-FACT CHECKER WARNSKessler never considered leaving the Post until he was presented with the buyout offer, which he accepted. The Post has been financially bleeding, so much so that it reportedly was on pace to lose at least $77 million in 2024. The buyouts had targeted the most veteran staffers, aiming to cut costs and ward off layoffs for the time being.The famed fact-checker was among several high-profile journalists and columnists who have left the paper in recent months, many of whom took issue with decisions and editorial changes Bezos himself had ordered.Kessler compared the Post to "being on the Titanic after it struck an iceberg drifting aimlessly as it sank, with not enough lifeboats for everyone" in a piece he wrote on his newly-launched Substack account."They have to have a vision of where they want to go. And I've not seen that vision yet. Or if there is a vision, it's not been clearly articulated," Kessler said. "It's gonna be a really rocky period in the news business in the next five to ten years. And the Post needs to be prepared for that. And I kind of feel like they've lost a lot of, you know, important sailors and captains to keep the ship going. So they're gonna have to make do with less."Bezos has been the target of intense blowback by liberals, who've accused him of bending the knee to President Donald Trump based on actions that have rocked the paper.First was his decision in October to halt the planned endorsement of then-Vice President Kamala Harris just days before the presidential election.Then, in February, he launched a new mission for the editorial pages to promote "personal liberties and free markets," vowing to not publish any pieces that go against those principles.Both instances sparked rebellion among the paper's liberal readers, leading to the cancellation of hundreds of thousands of subscriptions. Several staffers also resigned in protest.But Kessler wasn't always a Bezos critic. He credited the Amazon founder for saving the Post when he bought it in 2013."Before Bezos bought the newspaper, it was in really bad shape," he told Fox News Digital. "People forget how, you know, because the Graham family didn't really have the resources to keep it going in the new era. And there had been a bunch of buyouts and people were asked to leave. So it had been a pretty grim period then."WASHINGTON POST BOMBARDED WITH CAKE PARTIES FOR DEPARTING STAFFERSThings at the Post were souring so much so that Kessler himself had been interviewing for a different job outside the paper. That was until he was offered The Fact Checker stint in 2011, which he accepted, thinking that if the ship went down, he himself could stay afloat with his own "brand.""But then Bezos bought the paper, and he invested a lot of money in the paper," Kessler said. "So the size of the staff doubled. The number of foreign bureaus probably went up [by] at least a third. The resources devoted to engineering support surged, so the web pages started loading faster, and we could do fantastic graphics. There was investment in video And you really felt like the Post was going places, and it was actually producing better journalism at any point in the time I had worked at the Post.""And now it is just it's like it hit an iceberg, and it's kind of drifting there, and I don't think there's a plan to rescue it. Or at least a plan to, you know, turn the ship around and get it moving in the direction it was."Kessler blamed management for being "a little dazzled" by the traffic spike that came during the first Trump administration, reaching levels "almost equal" to the Post's top rival, The New York Times. But then, unlike the Times, the Post failed to capitalize on its new readers by not expanding its portfolio."I've sat in many meetings and had many discussions and heard lots of speeches. I still have no idea what they're trying to do," Kessler said of his former bosses. "It vaguely seems to say we're gonna appeal [to] the people who don't really care about the news. And we're gonna provide products that would allow them to read The Washington Post and find out information they need to know," he said."And the problem, as I wrote in my piece, is that that's what The New York Times has been doing for ten years. They have 10 million subscribers, but a large chunk of that are people that don't get the core news product," Kessler continued. "They get the recipes, they get The Athletic the sports section, they get product recommendations, they get the games, they play Wordle."WASHINGTON POST REELING FROM BUYOUT EXODUS AS BOSSES HOPE TO TURN THE PAGE AT EMBATTLED PAPERHe said the Post is stuck with "the Avis problem," citing the car rental company's old ads that claimed "We try harder," alluding to the reality it was always in the shadow of Hertz, a dynamic similar to the Gray Lady."The Washington Post has always been No. 2. It's never had the same size circulation as the Times. I would argue news coverage was better, but maybe I was biased about that," Kessler conceded to Fox News Digital."But now in this fragmented marketplace, people have to make a choice. What Substacks am I going to subscribe to? What newsletters am I gonna get? What networks am I going to watch? Oh, I need one newspaper. I'll be willing to spend money on one newspaper,' and the default is always going to be, unfortunately, The New York Times."He continued, "It's a broader product. It has better arts coverage, theater coverage. I've never gotten an understanding of how the Post was going to combat that problem. And it sounded like the solution was, 'Oh, we're going to be like a mini-me New York Times with things to appeal to people that don't follow news.' Well, they already get that in The New York Times."The Post has scrapped an initiative launched last year dubbed "WP Ventures," meant to attract social media users. However, the paper appears to already be pivoting with Tuesday's announcement of former Axios executive editor and former Post reporter, Sara Kehaulani Goo, returning as its president of Creator Network a new position Goo says will be "creating personality-driven content" and help provide advertisers "access" to a new audience driven by creators. The Times and the rise of new media weren't the only obstacles facing the Post."Midway through my journalism career, I started saying, 'I'm working for a dinosaur.' And AI is quite possibly the meteorite that will kill off the last of the dinosaurs," Kessler said to Fox News Digital. "I'm greatly concerned about what AI is gonna do, because AI is gonna kill search. And search was how people often found our news articles.""The statistics I had seen was that four or five years ago, every 100 searches on Google yielded six clicks on a news site. Now it's about every 100 searches yields two clicks on the news site. When people use AI, a thousand searches result in one click," he continued. "So it's a dramatic difference. And if I were running a news organization, at this point, I don't know quite what I would do about that. So it's a bad time to be running a new organization. I do have sympathy for the situation that [Washington Post publisher and CEO] Will Lewis and [Washington Post executive editor] Matt Murray find themselves in right now. I just question whether or not they really have figured out what to do."Goo said in her announcement that "we're going to be infusing AI with everything that we do to help us maximize efficiency and scale."But the buck ultimately stops with Bezos, according to Kessler."The Post was really at its high point [after Bezos' purchase] the amount of stories we're producing, the quality of the stories was really significant. And then, traffic surged when Trump got elected and there was so much hunger and interest in the news we were producing. We kind of lost our way after that," Kessler said. "And not only lost our way, we started losing oodles of money. A hundred million dollars one year, I think the last number I saw [in] 2023 was $77 million I think even for a person as rich as Jeff Bezos, that counts as real money.""And I have gotten the sense that he's a bit of an absentee owner. He's had other distractions, and he's committed more to some of his other enterprises, such as a space company, than he is to The Washington Post, which is really just a tiny part of his business investments. And maybe, I don't know, I hate to speculate, maybe you thought he gave us his best shot, and we blew it, and now we've got it muddled through," he added.A spokesperson for The Washington Post told Fox News Digital, "The Washington Post is reinventing itself to be a trusted news source for all Americans. That means working hard each day to publish the most accurate news, alongside opinions that resonate across the nation."

Jodi Arias, convicted in 2013 for the brutal murder of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander, may be preparing to pursue another legal challenge to her conviction.Nearly a decade after her high-profile trial, Arias, now 45, remains behind bars at Arizonas Perryville state womens prison, serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the 2008 killing.Recently, Arias has reemerged in the public eye through prison-created artwork sales and a new blog on Substack.In a June 27 post, Arias dismissed tabloid rumors that she flirts with prison staff, calling the claim "a juicy lie."RACHEL MORIN'S MOTHER EXPLAINS PAINSTAKING PROCESS OF WRITING STATEMENT TO READ AT KILLER'S SENTENCING"It might be difficult for some to grasp, but flirting is not among my priorities. It's a waste of time and does nothing to serve my goals," she wrote.She added that her focus now lies on "PCR (post-conviction relief), my art, and my writing, including some manuscripts that may or may not ever be published."That line has fueled speculation that Arias is preparing another legal maneuver in her long-running effort to overturn her conviction. Most of her Substack content is subscriber-only, but the June 27 entry was made accessible to the general public.REPEAT OFFENDER IN ARIZONA GETS LIFE PLUS 10 YEARS FOR FATAL SHOOTING JUST 16 DAYS AFTER PRISON RELEASEAlthough previous appeals have been unsuccessful, Arias has consistently expressed a desire to overturn her conviction. She has claimed that proceeds from her artwork are being set aside to help finance any future legal filings.In Arizona, post-conviction relief (PCR) is a legal option available after all standard appeals have been exhausted. It can be used to introduce new evidence or raise constitutional concerns.Back in 2008, Arias traveled to Alexanders home and murdered him in what authorities described as a calculated and cold-blooded attack. Investigators discovered his body in the shower, noting that his throat had been slashed, he had been shot in the head and he sustained numerous stab wounds.KAREN READ SELLS HOME AND TAPS RETIREMENT FUND TO PAY MOUNTING LEGAL BILLS IN MURDER RETRIALProsecutors argued that the crime was fueled by jealousy and rage.During the 2013 trial, prosecutors said Arias was furious after Alexander ended their relationship and began seeing someone new, rejecting her attempts to rekindle their romance.After her conviction on May 7, 2013, jurors were unable to reach a unanimous decision on her sentence, not once, but twice. As a result, in 2015, a judge sentenced her to life in prison.In 2014, Arias was ordered to pay over $32,000 in restitution to Alexanders family following a court hearing.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPSince 2022, Arias has held a job as a library aide at the prison and, more recently, was assigned to assist with music programs, including the prison band and choir, according to jail records.Arias is currently serving a life sentence at the Perryville state women's prison located in Goodyear, Arizona, with no possibility of parole. According to public records, she is housed in a medium-low security unit, classified under a lower "custody class" within the facility.

Terence Stamp, the British actor known for his roles in "Billy Budd," "Superman" and "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," has died. He was 87.Stamp's death on Sunday was disclosed in a death notice published online, according to The Associated Press."He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come," his family said in a statement to Reuters.Throughout his six-decade career, Stamp who was nominated for an Oscar for his film debut role in the 1962 film "Billy Budd" made a name for himself with roles such as General Zod in "Superman" and "Superman II," Freddie Clegg in "The Collector," and Sergeant Troy in "Far From the Madding Crowd."HOLLYWOOD STARS WHO DIED IN 2025: PHOTOSA representative for Stamp did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.Born in London in 1938, Stamp found his passion for film at a young age.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERHis father was in the Merchant Navy and spent much of Stamps childhood away from the family.
