Nationals' Nick Lee: Clears waivers, outrighted to Double-A

Lee cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Double-A Harrisburg, the Washington Post's Chelsea Janes reports.

He was designated for assignment earlier in the week to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, although he never left Double-A, as he was simply added to the 40-man before the season to protect him against the Rule 5 draft. The lefty reliever will continue to serve as organizational depth going forward.
