Clippard promoted to bigs; Wells let go

The Nationals recalled right-hander Tyler Clippard  from Triple-A Syracuse and designated right-hander Kip Wells for assignment.

Clippard is having the best season of his professional career, going 4-1 with a 0.92 ERA in 24 appearances for Syracuse.

Wells was 0-2 with a 6.49 ERA in 23 relief appearances with the Nationals this season.
