MLB Reschedules Series Slated For Mexico City, Puerto Rico

MLB announced that the Padres-D-backs April 18-19 series in Mexico City "will be rescheduled in Phoenix sometime after the season resumes." A series between the Mets and Marlins, scheduled for San Juan, Puerto Rico, from April 28-30, "will also be moved to Marlins Park for a to-be-determined date" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 3/20). The game would "take place at Marlins Park because it was tabbed as a Marlins home series." This marks the second consecutive occasion that a scheduled Marlins series in Puerto Rico was "called off." The Marlins last attempted to play in Puerto Rico during the '16 season, but that was "squashed due to concerns about the Zika virus" (MIAMI HERALD, 3/20).
