Three MLB games were postponed on Wednesday due to racial inequality protests and at least four more won’t be played on Thursday for the same reason.

The Rangers and A’s game has already been postponed, ESPN reported, and the Phillies-Nationals game is off as well, according to NBC Sports Philadelphia. Twins players voted not to play against the Tigers, The Post’s Joel Sherman reported. The Red Sox-Blue Jays game is off, after Boston players met to discuss their options Thursday afternoon.

On Wednesday, the Reds-Brewers, Dodgers-Giants and Mariners-Padres games were postponed as players opted not to play, following the lead by the NBA after the Sunday shooting of African-American man Jacob Blake by police in Kenosha, Wisc.

Wednesday night, Phillies manager Joe Girardi said he would support any course of action his players opted to take.

“I would tell them to go with their heart,” he said. “Feelings are feelings. They’re never right or wrong, they’re just feelings. And you’ve got to go with what your heart tells you. I would support them whatever they did.”

Mets infielder/outfielder Dom Smith took a knee during the national anthem, but the team said it never discussed not playing the game against the Marlins.
