Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said the players were comfortable playing Wednesday after the Milwaukee Bucks boycotted their playoff game against the Orlando Magic and will have discussions leading up to today's game against the Boston Red Sox.

"Having thought through what was going on in the community, guys were comfortable playing yesterday, Atkins said. He added the team will have more discussions on whether to play with the players and the Red Sox leading up to today's game.

ESPN's Jeff Passan reported the Red Sox are strongly considering not playing Thursday's game to join in the protest against social injustice.

Passan added the two teams are currently talking and have offered one another support regardless of whether they decide to play or not.
