The Milwaukee Brewers are meeting to decide whether to play the scheduled game tonight against the Cincinnati Reds.
The Milwaukee Bucks boycotted their game in Orlando, Florida against the Magic in sympathy for the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin about an hour south of Milwaukee.
Bob Nightengale tweeted that Josh Hader, the Brewers bullpen ace, tweeted, "I'm sure it is something we will discuss."
There has been no decision at this time about the fate of the game.
Reds' manager David Bell was asked about his view of the situation. "This is all new. There are things that are going on that are much more important than what we're doing. When we're here this is everything to us. We continue to prepare but it's devastating. My heart goes out to anyone affected."
The Reds had called up rookie Jose Garcia and put the young shortstop, who opened everyone's eyes in spring training with his talent, in the lineup.
The Reds designated veteran Pedro Strop for assignment.
"It was a tough decision," Bell said. "He wasn't with us long. We know what he can do. When he was injured a lot of pitchers stepped up, Tyler Thornburg and T.J. Antone and some of our guys who were struggling have gotten better. There was just no room for him."
