Major League Baseball will consider changing a number of rules to return the game to normalcy coming out of the 2021 season. 

"When we adopted seven-inning doubleheaders for this year, we didn't know the country was going to look like it does now," commissioner Rob Manfred said in a state-of-the-sport address at the All-Star Game on Tuesday. "We were scared it was going to look very, very different.

"It was a COVID-related change. I don't think that seven-inning doubleheaders are going to be part of our future going forward."

Manfred indicated the same about the extra-innings rule, and he seemed to advocate for banning the shift.
