On Wednesday, manager David Ross had mentioned the team had a plan in place to acknowledge racial injustice and to support those fighting against it.

"We've had multiple meetings on the racial injustice topic," Ross said. "We've got a plan in place for Opening Day that these guys are unified with. It's really has been some great discussions, some great conversations learning a lot about things that we don't see or what other people may be going through. It's been powerful for this group to have those discussions and brought us closer together in my opinion. It's been very rewarding on my end, and we've got great leadership here between the players, our front office group and our coaching staff."
