The Toronto Blue Jays are hoping to make a return to Toronto this summer.

The team has submitted a request to the federal government that would see the team at the Rogers Centre for a homestand starting July 30th.

No venue has been announced for the ten-game homestand, which includes games against Kansas, Cleveland and Boston.

In June, team President Mark Shapiro announced the team would remain in Buffalo until July 21st.

This comes as Canada-U.S border restrictions are beginning to loosen.

As of today, double-dosed Canadians and permanent residents will be able to forgo the 14 day quarantine when they return home.

The Jays last played in Toronto on September 29th, 2019.
