Thursday night's games between the Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers and the Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies have been postponed, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan and multiple reports.
In addition, Boston Red Sox players have strongly considered not playing Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays to protest against social injustice, sources told Passan. The teams are talking and have offered one another support regardless of whether they decide to play or not.
The action follows three games being postponed on Wednesday as players across the sports landscape reacted in the wake of the weekend shooting by police of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Wisconsin.
