Major League Baseball has moved two regular season games due to be held in Puerto Rico because of concerns over the Zika virus.
The Miami Marlins were due to host the Pittsburgh Pirates on the island, a United States territory, on May 30 and 31.
But MLB has decided to move the games back to Miami because of the mosquito-born virus, which has been linked birth defects and brain damage in new born babies.
The virus, which has already caused concerns ahead of this summer's Olympic Games in Brazil, has affected Puerto Rico with 683 confirmed cases, including 65 pregnant women.
The MLB Players Association had asked commissioner Rob Manfred to relocate the matches after players expressed concerns about contracting and spreading the virus.
"Commissioner Manfred and the MLBPA fully understand the disappointment by those in Puerto Rico to the relocation of the games," a joint statement said.
"MLB looks forward to returning to play games in Puerto Rico in the near future."
