Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a homer and four RBI in Monday's 6-4 win against the Yankees.

The All-Star third baseman opened the game's scoring when he cranked a 390-foot, three-run homer off New York starter Clarke Schmidt. Ramirez later cracked an RBI single in the sixth inning to drive in Cleveland's final run of the evening. The 32-year-old is off to another superb start, slashing .276/.337/.526 with five homers, three steals, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored in 89 plate appearances.

Baez will start in center field and bat seventh in Monday's game versus the Padres.

Baez has seen action in center field in three games this season with the Tigers, but this will be his first-ever start at any outfield position at the major-league level. He's expected to play the position frequently while Parker Meadows (shoulder) continues to recover, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News.

The Tigers recalled Jung from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Jung has slashed .239/.409/.463 with three homers over his first 19 games at Toledo this season. He's starting at third base for the Tigers on Monday and could see regular reps there against right-handed pitching. The 24-year-old played in 34 contests with Detroit last season, hitting .241/.362/.304 with zero home runs and a 30.9 percent strikeout rate.

Jung joined the Tigers at Comerica Park prior to Monday's game against the Padres, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

There's no word yet on if Jung will be recalled to the active roster or is just in Detroit as a precaution, but Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) did exit Sunday's game with a hamstring issue. Jung failed to make the Opening Day roster but has slashed .239/.409/.463 with three homers over his first 19 games at Triple-A Toledo.

The White Sox selected Dalbec's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Dalbec, 29, has slashed .326/.354/.696 with four home runs this season with Charlotte to earn a promotion to the big club. He could see some action at designated hitter for Chicago and is capable of handling all four corner spots defensively.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning win over Pittsburgh.

Most of Ramirez's offensive contributions came in the seventh inning, when he had a two-out single, stole second base and scored on Kyle Manzardo's home run. Ramirez was recently dropped from the second spot in the order to third, which has helped a pair of slumping outfielders; Lane Thomas and Nolan Jones snapped hitless runs out of the two-hole. As for Ramirez, his bat plays anywhere. He's 4-for-11 with two walks, two steals, one RBI and three runs scored since manager Stephen Vogt tweaked the order.

Vargas went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored Sunday against the Red Sox.

Vargas served as the White Sox's leadoff hitter in 10 of the team's first 17 games, but he struggled mightily and had just a .429 OPS entering Sunday's game. He's remained an everyday player but has dropped to the bottom half of the order in each of his last three starts.

Smith started at designated hitter against a right-hander and went 3-for-4 in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Dodgers.

Smith replaced a struggling Joc Pederson, who's batting just .055 (3-for-55). The season-opening slump may eventually cost Pederson his job as the DH against righties. Smith is hitting too well -- he's up to .378 following Sunday's loss -- to ignore and could gain a greater share of starts at DH going forward.

Moore went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-3 victory of the Blue Jays.

The Seattle utility man drew the start at shortstop and occupied the leadoff spot. Moore popped a 364-foot solo shot off Easton Lucas on the third pitch of the game to give the Mariners the lead. Moore is enjoying a scorching start this season, slashing .316/.371/.596 with five homers, 12 runs scored and seven RBI while going 5-for-9 on steal attempts.

The Rangers optioned Duran to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Texas needed to clear a spot on the 26-man roster for the return of Wyatt Langford (oblique), and Duran was the recipient of a demotion. The 26-year-old has been unable to get going offensively this season, as he's 0-for-14 with four strikeouts so far. The Rangers will look for Duran to get his bat on track with Round Rock.
