The Toronto Blue Jays will play a pair of intrasquad games this week in preparation for the start of the American League Division Series on Saturday.

The informal scrimmages will last four to five innings on Wednesday and Thursday at Rogers Centre, the team said Tuesday in a statement.

Blue Jays players will be joined by members of the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on both days.

The club will open the stadium’s lower bowl with general admission access. Net proceeds from the $10 tickets will benefit Jays Care Foundation, the team said.

Toronto closed out its regular season on Sunday with a 13-4 rout of the Tampa Bay Rays.

The victory secured the Blue Jays’ first East Division title since 2015.

Toronto will play the winner of the wild-card series between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
