Rotowire
The Mets claimed Weston off waivers from the Orioles on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.
Weston pitched a scoreless inning during his MLB debut back in May but owns a 7.89 ERA and 1.94 WHIP through 51.1 frames in the minors. The Mets will add the 26-year-old to their 40-man roster despite his poor performance and keep him at Triple-A, where he is likely to remain for the remainder of the season. Shawn Ross was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Orioles' Cameron Weston: Joining big club
Rotowire
The Orioles selected Weston's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
Weston has excelled at collecting strikeouts in the minors this season, fanning 40 batters in just 27.1 innings, but he's struggled to limit runs while posting a 6.26 ERA and 1.70 WHIP. Despite his poor effectiveness, the Orioles will add him to their big-league roster and likely deploy him as a multi-inning reliever. Trey Gibson was optioned to Norfolk in a corresponding move.
