The Athletics-Rangers, Phillies-Nationals, Twins-Tigers, Red Sox-Blue Jays, Rockies-Diamondbacks, Orioles-Rays and Mets-Marlins games set for Thursday night were postponed.
The action followed three MLB games being postponed on Wednesday as players across the sports landscape reacted to the weekend shooting by police of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Wisconsin.
Eight other Major League Baseball games, all part of doubleheaders, went on as scheduled Thursday.
Throughout the day, the Red Sox strongly considered not playing to protest social injustice, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan, and were in communication with the Blue Jays as both teams offered each other support.
