San Francisco Giants player Harrison Bader allegedly rammed his scooter into the back of a fire truck early Sunday morning ... an accident that further injured his foot and solidified the end of his season.

Bader -- who has been banged up most of 2026 -- was scheduled to see a foot specialist this week to address his ongoing plantar fasciitis issues ... but the team announced on Tuesday his status worsened after crashing his scooter days prior, and he would need an MRI to understand the severity of the new ailment.

While the team didn't provide details on the incident ... the SFist reported the scooter crash happened in the Cow Hollow area around 1:50 AM near the Balboa Cafe. A witness told the outlet Bader collided into back of a San Francisco Fire Department truck ... and the scooter wheel then rolled over his foot, causing a "major injury."

Nolan Wells' state autopsy report is now officially completed, but the results are still under wraps, TMZ has confirmed.

The Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office conducted the autopsy on July 7 and has now come to its conclusions, but the agency has not shared them publicly -- not even with Nolan's family or their attorney, Ben Crump.

The revelation comes on the heels of an independent autopsy commissioned by Nolan's family, who tapped Dr. Roger J. Mitchell to examine the 18-year-old's body to determine how he died.

Nicki Minaj has a grim view of Dr. Fauci's future ... saying he'll be eating from feeding tubes and losing the ability to speak.

Earlier this week, Fauci sat before the Senate to answer questions about the pandemic, but he clammed up and took the Fifth.

Kevin McHale is furious with fans who claim the hit show is "cursed" following the deaths of several cast members.

The "Glee" alum unloaded Wednesday on X, blasting people who treat the deaths of his former costars like part of a twisted conspiracy theory.

"Let me log off today because the way too many of you talk about real people who have passed as a 'sacrifice' or a 'curse' in regards to a tv show is f***king diabolical and untethered from any sort of humanity or reality," he wrote. He added ... "Get f***ked."

Three prominent "Glee" cast members have died since the show premiered in 2009.

Cory Monteith died from an accidental overdose in 2013 at 31, while Mark Salling died by suicide in 2018 at 35 ahead of his sentencing on a child pornography conviction. Naya Rivera drowned in Lake Piru in 2020 at 33 after saving her 4-year-old son, Josey.

Latino argued the transcript is used to convince listeners they hear words in otherwise garbled audio, dismissing the recording as unreliable.

He also defended Bart, saying his client fully cooperated with investigators from the beginning and insisting there's no evidence tying him to Nolan's death.
