Those moves have not worked out as the team sits in fifth place in the National League East division with a 63-77 record.
However, the team did just take three out of four against the American League leading Tampa Bay Rays before headed home for a three-game set against the San Francisco Giants .
The team made a roster move prior to the start of the series, claiming right-handed pitcher Cameron Weston off of waivers and optioning him to Triple-A Syracuse, while designating catcher Shawn Ross for assignment.

Weston pitched in one game for Baltimore this season, striking out one in one inning.
In Triple-A, he posts a concerning 7.89 ERA with 66 strikeouts and 31 walks across 51 1/3 innings.
Ross was playing in Triple-A for the Mets while hitting to a .731 OPS, but his disappointing .195 batting average led to the DFA.
