The Nationals removed three players from their 40-man roster on Wednesday, including outfielder Ryan Langerhans and relief pitcher Levale Speigner.

The St. Louis Cardinals claimed Nats left-handed reliever Charlie Manning off waivers. Langerhans and Speigner passed through waivers and were outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse. The Nats now have 36 players on the roster.
