DETROIT -- In less than two weeks, the New York Yankees will head to Toronto to play against the Blue Jays in what will be their first visit to Canadian territory since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
According to present Canadian law, in order to be allowed into the country, unless issued an exemption, every member of a particular club's traveling party must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least 14 days before entering Canada.
When spring training started, the Yankees still had a handful of players who had chosen not to be vaccinated, and their availability had been in question with the team scheduled to travel to Toronto on Sunday, May 1, ahead of a three-game series against the Blue Jays.
