TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays will train for the upcoming season at Rogers Centre, the team announced Thursday.
The Blue Jays, the lone MLB team north of the Canada-U.S. border, had to ask for special permission from the Canadian government to use their Toronto stadium during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Training camps are set to begin around the league on Friday.
The border remains closed to non-essential travel until at least July 21, and anyone entering Canada for non-essential reasons must self-isolate for 14 days.
The Blue Jays said in a release that players and club personnel are completing intake screening at their spring training facility in Dunedin, Fla.
