Mets claim RHP Cameron Weston off waivers from the Orioles

The New York Mets added right-handed pitcher Cameron Weston to their organization after claiming him off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Weston, who was originally a 2022 eighth-round draft pick for Baltimore, made his major league debut in May. The 26-year-old was designated for assignment by the Orioles earlier this week to clear space on their 40-man roster. Following the claim, the Mets optioned Weston to Triple-A Syracuse. To accommodate the move on the roster, the Mets designated catcher Shawn Ross for assignment. Weston has recorded a 4.37 ERA and 387 strikeouts throughout 105 minor league appearances.
