No further details have been announced regarding scheduling plans for the final two contests of the four-game series, which were originally set for Saturday and Sunday.

Both the Twins and the Tigers decided not to play the series opener on Thursday, instead joining athletes from around the sports world in protest of racial injustice. On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks opted not to play Game 5 of their playoff series against Orlando. The rest of the NBA followed suit, and later so did teams from MLB, the WNBA and NHL.
