The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to play a majority of their home games at PNC Park in Pittsburgh this season.

Federal officials in Canada are refusing to let them host games at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.

An official announcement is pending approval from the state of Pennsylvania.

Canada's government denied the Blue Jays' request to play in Toronto because the regular-season schedule would require frequent travel back and forth from the United States, where COVID-19 cases are surging.
