Marlins bidding still open

Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says two groups are still bidding to buy the Miami Marlins from Jeffrey Loria.

Former New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter and former Florida Gov.

Jeb Bush are involved in one of the groups. Bloomberg reported Tuesday that the Jeter/Bush group won an auction for the team with a $1.3 billion bid. Manfred said some reports on the sale have been premature.

“There are multiple bidders for the Marlins,” Manfred said at the groundbreaking for the Jackie Robinson Museum, which got underway Thursday in the SoHo section of Manhattan after a 10-year wait caused by the Great Recession. “There is no agreement in place. We’re working with more than one group, and when we have a definitive agreement we’ll make an announcement.”

Asked about the timeline, Manfred responded: “The timeline is relatively short; it would be measured in days, not months.” He also said “there is not a signed document on any topic.”

Syndergaard a late scratch: Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard was scratched from his start Thursday against the Atlanta Braves because of what manager Terry Colins said was minor discomfort in his biceps.

Matt Harvey was moved up a day and took the mound on five days of rest — his scheduled turn before Tuesday’s rainout. Harvey also pitched on short notice last Friday in place of Jacob deGrom, who missed a start with a stiff neck.

Collins said Syndergaard should be ready to go this weekend and likely will not go on the disabled list, but Collins cautioned any decision will be made after Syndergaard is evaluated by doctors. Nationals reinstate Strasburg: The Washington Nationals have reinstated right-hander Stephen Strasburg from the paternity list after the birth of his second child.

Strasburg is scheduled to throw Saturday against the New York Mets. He is 2-0 with a 2.89 ERA this season.

The 28-year-old Strasburg and his wife, Rachel, welcomed their second daughter earlier this week.

To make room on the roster, Washington optioned left-hander Matt

Grace to Class AAA Syracuse.

Cespedes injures hamstring: New York Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes needed to be helped off the field after pulling his left hamstring while running to second base in the fourth inning of Thursday’s game against Atlanta.

Cespedes left last Thursday’s loss to Philadelphia with a cramp in his left hamstring and returned to the lineup Wednesday.
