TORONTO - With summer camps officially opening up across big league ball parks earlier this week, Major League Baseball has released the 60-game schedules for all of its clubs.

Each team will play its divisional rivals 10 times over the course of this shortened campaign, while also squaring off against regional opponents for the remaining 20 contests.

Outside of facing the Yankees, Red Sox, Orioles and Rays, the Toronto Blue Jays will also see action against five National League outfits in the Mets, Phillies, Braves, Marlins and Nationals.

On weekdays, games will begin earlier than in years past, while the majority of weekend contests are scheduled to get underway around 3:00 p.m. E.T.

Toronto’s season will kick off on July 24 when the club travels to St. Petersburg for a 6:40 first pitch against Tampa Bay.

Although they have yet to finalize a home venue (the preference remains Rogers Centre, though border restrictions may limit the opportunity to bring opposing clubs north), Toronto’s home schedule is set to begin with a 6:37 tilt against the defending World Series champions on July 29.

You can view the full schedule below.
