Sanchez's start against the Mets on Thursday was postponed, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

The teams have decided not to play as a protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake. The Mets took the field, but ultimately exited after a 42-second moment of silence. It's not yet clear when the game will be made up, nor is it known when Sanchez will take the ball next.

Wacha's scheduled start Thursday against the Marlins was postponed, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

The teams decided not to play Thursday in protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Both team's took the field, but ultimately walked off following a 42-second moment of silence. It's unclear when the game will be rescheduled and when Wacha will make his next start.

Freeland's scheduled start against the Diamondbacks on Thursday has been postponed, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

This marks one of a handful of postponements Thursday as teams protest the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis. It's not yet known whether the Rockies will simply push Freeland's start to Friday or skip his turn in the rotation.

Gallen's scheduled start against the Rockies on Thursday was postponed, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

The two teams decided to postpone Thursday's series finale in protest of the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake. While the Diamondbacks have yet to disclose their upcoming rotation plans, Gallen -- who owns a 2.25 ERA through six starts this season -- seems likely to get the ball Friday, which would push the rest of the rotation back a day.

Kelly underwent a procedure earlier in the week to dissolve a blood clot in his right shoulder.

Kelly is expected to miss the remainder of the 2020 season following the procedure. Prior to getting injured, the right-hander notched a 2.59 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB across five appearances (31.1 innings).

Mahle is scheduled to start Friday against the Cubs, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Mahle has made four appearances for the Reds this season, compiling a 4.41 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB across 16.1 innings during those outings. With Mahle set to start Friday's series opener, Trevor Bauer will get the ball for one of the team's two games Saturday.

Wacha (shoulder) will be activated from the injured list to start Thursday's game against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Wacha has been sidelined since Aug. 9 with shoulder inflammation, but he's on track to rejoin the rotation Thursday after emerging from a pair of bullpens earlier in the week with no issues. Prior to landing on the shelf, the right-hander compiled a 6.43 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB across three outings (14 innings).

Webb is starting Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Webb will start the first half of Thursday's twin bill, with Kevin Gausman set to start Game 2. The right-hander impressed his last time out, striking out eight batters while allowing two runs on five hits across seven innings.

Gausman is not starting Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

It turns out Logan Webb will get the ball for the first half of Thursday's twin bill, with Gausman likely lined up to start Game 2. Across 31 innings this season, Gausman owns a 4.65 ERA (3.12 FIP) and 42:6 K:BB.

The Dodgers placed Buehler on the 10-day injured list Thursday after he developed a blister on his right hand.

Buehler had been expected to take the hill for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Giants, but he apparently came out of his most recent start Aug. 21 with the blister and was unable to overcome the issue despite having the last five days off to heal up. The IL move is retroactive to Aug. 23, so Buehler will be eligible for activation as soon as Sept. 2, and according to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, the expectation is that he'll be able to rejoin the rotation next week after a brief stay on the shelf. Los Angeles called up right-hander Mitchell White to take Buehler's spot on the active roster, but it's unclear if White or someone else will receive the starting nod in the nightcap after Clayton Kershaw takes the hill for Game 1 on Thursday.
