The scheduled start time for Monday's game between the New York Yankees and Miami Marlins has been pushed back because of the total solar eclipse.

The Yankees were initially set to host the Marlins at 2:05 p.m. ET, but the start time has been delayed four hours.

"After reconsidering the challenges of playing through Monday's solar eclipse, including potential in-game delays, Major League Baseball and the Yankees have rescheduled the start time of the Yankees-Marlins game on April 8 at Yankee Stadium from 2:05 p.m. to 6:05 p.m.," the club said in a statement.
