I found them under a wet log and there were smaller eggs (slugs or sails?) under there also.
Are these eastern salamanders and if they are how do I care for them? I kind of saved them from ants and isopods.

They are very clear eggs once I put them in water.

They’re marbled salamander eggs I believe, depending on the area. The mothers lay them in land and then when the pool fills with water they should hatch
 
I would suggest not submerging them. If they are eggs of a Easter red back as you suggested you don’t want to submerge them as these salamanders do not have a larval stage and are purely terrestrial

I put them in a container with damp coco fiber and rotting wood.
 
I'm sure they are salamander eggs. you should endeavor to hatch them in the same type of environment you found them in.
