TORONTO - It’s been nearly 22 months since Toronto Blue Jays fans have been able to see Vladimir Guerrero Jr., tear the cover off a fastball down the middle at Rogers Centre. They haven’t seen lefty ace Hyun-Jin Ryu or big free-agent signing George Springer live in a Blue Jays uniform at all. “First and foremost, the Blue Jays wish to thank Canadians for their unprecedented public health efforts and support for the team. “Get ready Toronto -- we are coming back!”The Blue Jays’ return is the latest step in professional sports returning to normal north of the border. It could be augmented further if Springer, beset in his debut Jays season by injuries, starts rounding into form.
