Wednesday night two games in Major League Baseball were postponed with players protesting social injustice.
According to ESPN.com, the Red Sox and Blue Jays may follow suit Thursday night in Buffalo.
Boston Red Sox players have strongly considered not playing tonight's game against the Toronto Blue Jays to protest against social injustice, sources tell ESPN. The teams are talking currently and have offered one another support regardless of whether they decide to play or not.

August 27, 2020 Following the Red Sox' loss to Toronto Wednesday night, outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. said that the club hadn't considered not playing despite the decisions in the Dodgers vs. Giants and Padres vs. Mariners games.
"Wasn't very aware of any of the baseball stuff until probably literally just before I was about to go out for the game, just before stretch," Bradley Jr. said. "Me, personally, I had seen the basketball situation and stuff like that. All the other stuff was late notice when I found out."
When asked if there would have been a different decision if notified of the news earlier, he said, "Possibly. I'm not sure. But it hasn't been brought to the overall team's attention yet."
