NL East-leading Phillies going with a 6-man rotation when Aaron Nola returns on Sunday
WASHINGTON (AP) — Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Thursday that he will utilize a six-man rotation beginning this weekend when Aaron Nola returns from the injured list. Nola is lined up for the series finale Sunday at Washington. The 32-year-old right-hander is coming back from a right ankle sprain. Left-hander Ranger Suárez takes the mound on Monday against the Mariners. The NL East leaders also have ace right-hander Zack Wheeler, lefties Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo, and right-hander Taijuan Walker. Thomson said he isn't sure how long he is going to use the six-man rotation. 'Once for sure and then we've got some other ideas how to attack this thing as we move forward,' he said. Philadelphia starters lead the majors with 687 1/3 innings pitched. Sánchez is up to 150 2/3 innings, and Wheeler is at 144 2/3. 'Just getting some of these guys some extra rest cause we've been grinding on them pretty hard all year,' Thomson said before the opener of a four-game set against the Nationals. 'The one downside to it is you've got to take somebody out of your bullpen, so you're a little short there but we'll just have to figure it out.' Nola hasn't pitched in the majors since May 14. He posted a 2.19 ERA in three rehab starts with Triple-A Lehigh Valley while striking out 17 batters in 12 1/3 innings.

Oil and gas consultant loses RM2.7m in investment scam
IPOH: An oil and gas consultant lost over RM2.7 million after falling victim to a non-existent investment scheme advertised on a website. Perak police chief Datuk Noor Hisam Nordin said the 37-year-old man lodged a police report on June 29 at the Ipoh district police headquarters, claiming he had been scammed through an online investment platform known as 'Nova 88.' Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim registered an account on the website in April 2023 through a contact, now the main suspect, whom he had met via WhatsApp. Convinced by the suspect, the victim made an initial deposit of RM30,000 into a provided account number and was then given a user ID and password to monitor the supposed investment. 'Between Jan 5, 2024, and May 20, 2025, the victim made 136 fund transfers to seven different accounts, totalling RM2,701,687. The funds came from his savings and contributions from family members,' Noor Hisam said in a statement on Tuesday (July 1). He said the victim realised he had been duped when each attempt to withdraw his purported profits required additional payments. To date, he has been unable to access any returns, with the suspect offering numerous excuses before eventually becoming unreachable. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. Noor Hisam advised the public to avoid any form of investment offered through unlicensed, unregistered, or unregulated websites. 'Such investments carry high risks and can lead to significant financial losses. Always verify the background of any investment company with recognised authorities such as Bank Negara Malaysia or the Securities Commission,' he said.

Oil and gas consultant scammed of RM2.7 million in fake investment scheme
IPOH: An oil and gas consultant lost over RM2.7 million to a fraudulent online investment scheme through a website to which he was introduced. Perak police chief Datuk Noor Hisam Nordin said the 37-year-old victim lodged a report on June 29 after realising he had been deceived over a period spanning more than a year. He said that in April 2023, the victim was introduced to the investment platform via a contact he met on WhatsApp. "Trusting the individual, he registered an account on the website and began depositing funds with the expectation of high returns. "The victim initially deposited RM30,000 and was given login credentials to monitor his investments. "Between Jan 5, 2024, and May 20, 2025, he proceeded to make 136 transactions to seven different bank accounts, totalling RM2,701,687," he said in a statement. Noor Hisam added that the funds were sourced from both the victim's personal savings and family contributions. "However, red flags began to emerge when the victim was repeatedly asked to make additional payments each time he attempted to withdraw his so-called profits. "To date, he has been unable to retrieve any of the promised returns, and the suspect (who introduced the victim to the scheme) has become unreachable," he said. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. Noor Hisam warned the public to remain cautious of unregulated online investment platforms, especially those promoted through social media or messaging apps. "These schemes are often not regulated by recognised authorities and pose a high risk of financial loss," he said. He said potential investors should verify the legitimacy of any investment company with relevant bodies, such as Bank Negara Malaysia or the Securities Commission Malaysia, before parting with their money.
