Blue Jays set for July 30 Roger Centre opener

It's official: The Toronto Blue Jays are returning to Rogers Center on July 30 after the team received a national interest exemption from COVID-19 restrictions. With new border rules exacted by the Canadian government on July 5, 14-day quarantines are not required by the fully vaccinated for essential travel, contingent on passing a COVID-19 test. What MLB has proposed on behalf of the Blue Jays: all players, including Blue Jays, be allowed north of the border, but sequestered to their hotels and the ballpark.
