Nationals Select Contract of Wil Nieves

Just out from the Nationals …

The Washington Nationals today selected the contract of catcher Wil Nieves from the Triple-A Columbus Clippers, and optioned right-handed pitcher Chris Schroder to Columbus. Nationals Senior Vice President and General Manager Jim Bowden made these announcements.

This brings the Nationals back to three catchers and means the Clippers will likely recall CA Patrick Nichols to serve as Jesus Flores’ backup in Columbus
