Harper says his jersey being auctioned not as advertised

An auction house says it is offering the jersey Bryce Harper wore during his memorable dugout fight with a teammate. The Washington Nationals star says they’ve got the wrong shirt.

“That’s my MVP jersey, and I have it,” Harper said Saturday.

The website Lelands.com says it’s taking bids for the jersey the reigning National League Most Valuable Player wore during his September fight with closer Jonathan Papelbon, who drew a four-game suspension for grabbing Harper by the throat.

As of Saturday night, the website said there had been six bids, with a top offer of about $4,800.

“I hope it goes to some good,” Harper said.

The Las Vegas native said he had nothing to do with the auction and doesn’t know who’s behind it or how Leland’s obtained one of his jerseys. But he’s annoyed about the situation.

“I don’t think it’s right,” he said, speaking before the Nationals’ game at Miami.

Leland, based in Bohemia, New York, didn’t return calls from the AP seeking comment.

Harper said he wore the same jersey in every game last season and marked it with stitching near the hem.

“That way, every day that I wore my jersey, I knew that it was my jersey,” he said. “Superstitiously, I wear the same one.”

Harper still has that 2015 jersey at home, he said.

YANKEES — New York plans to activate designated hitter Alex Rodriguez from the disabled list Tuesday.

The 14-time All-Star was eligible to come off the DL on Thursday, but the Yankees opted to give him additional time for rehabilitation.

Rodriguez, 40, is batting .194 with five home runs and 12 RBIs.

ROYALS — Kansas City activated third baseman Mike Moustakas off the 15-day disabled list and optioned infielder Cheslor Cuthbert to Triple-A Omaha.

Moustakas, an All-Star last season, was hitting .258 with seven home runs before a left thumb injury sidelined him this month.

CUBS — Right fielder Jason Heyward will miss three to five games with a bruise on his right side near his ribs, manager Joe Maddon said.

The injury happened in the first inning of Chicago’s 8-1 win at San Francisco on Friday, when Heyward crashed into a padded section of the wall to the left of the 421-foot sign with an outstanding catch.
