Figured we should give DC a thread dedicated to the 2024 season.
And what better way to kick things off than with this news --

This is not the opening day / 26-man roster. |

This is an incredibly big deal. Minor league teams are loaded with talent and making a major league roster is really really hard. Best of luck to Declan in the coming year.

Stands the placed runner.
Striking out O’Neill Cruz to start the inning was massive.
In line for the win if Miami can push one across.

Wow. Two scoreless innings from DC. Not easy to do with the placed runner.

Threw three innings and allowed the placed runner to score in the 12th on a bloop single. Unfortunately, Miami couldn't push one run across for him.
He was very impressive.

Took a tough loss in the Marlins’ opener. Pitched 3 innings with no earned runs but got nicked for the loss in the top of the 12th vs. the Pirates. With the “ghost” runner on second, got the next two outs, intentionally walked the third hitter and gave up a soft single to short right center that scored the lead run. Marlins couldn’t match or exceed in bottom of 12th.

Miami optioned Declan yday to Jacksonville- don’t understand this one as he’s pitched pretty well In that opening day loss

Miami optioned Declan yday to Jacksonville- don’t understand this one as he’s pitched pretty well In that opening day loss I don't understand it either but I know that sometimes guys get optioned for reasons other than their performance (e.g. they need to keep other guys who are out of options, or for money reasons they want to keep Cronin from accruing big league time until later in the season). |

Miami optioned Declan yday to Jacksonville- don’t understand this one as he’s pitched pretty well In that opening day loss Not sure I understand it either. He pitched one scoreless inning in the Marlins’ third game. Loaded the bases with one out and then induced an inning-ending DP grounder. So far has pitched 4 innings and given up one unearned run. WHIP is 1.50 (includes two intentional walks or would be 1.00) and he has 4Ks. Apparently, Marlins bullpen pitched an MLB high 19 innings in the first 3 games and needed a “fresh” arm for the next 3-5 games. Declan probably has some options left that others on the staff do not. |

Many MLB teams move players back and forth to AAA teams during the course of the season. Here is summary of the options rule from the MLB site which might be worth knowing as we follow Cronin's career.
Minor League Options
Definition
Players on a 40-man roster are given three Minor League "options." An option allows that player to be sent to the Minor Leagues ("optioned") without first being subjected to waivers. Players who are optioned to the Minors are removed from a team's active 26-man roster but remain on the 40-man roster.
A player who is on the 40-man roster but does not open the season on the 26-man roster or the injured list must be optioned to the Minor Leagues. Once an optioned player has spent at least 20 days in the Minors in a given season, he loses one of his options. Only one Minor League option is used per season, regardless of how many times a player is optioned to and from the Minors over the course of a given season. (Players may only be optioned five times per season; after that, it requires outright assignment waivers to assign the player to the Minor Leagues.)
Out-of-options players must be designated for assignment -- which removes them from the 40-man roster -- and passed through outright waivers before being eligible to be sent to the Minors.
Players typically have three option years, but those who have accrued less than five full seasons (including both the Major and Minors) are eligible for a fourth if their three options have been exhausted already. For the purposes of this rule, spending at least 90 days on an active Major League or Minor League roster during a given season counts as one full season. Players also earn a full season if they spend at least 30 days on an active Major League or Minor League roster AND their active-roster and injured-list time amounts to at least 90 days in a given season.
Upon being optioned to the Minor Leagues, a position player must remain there for a minimum of 10 days before he is eligible to be recalled to the Major League roster. For pitchers, the minimum is 15 days. If a player is serving as the 27th man for a doubleheader or replacing a player who has been placed on the injured list, there is no minimum number of days for which the optioned player must remain in the Minors.
A player's option years do not need to be used in succession. Any player with fewer than five years of Major League service time and an option year remaining can be optioned to the Minor Leagues. Players with more than five years of service time must consent to being optioned.

With Miami's bullpen giving up 14 earned runs in 26 innings, I think we'll see DC back with the big club in the not too distant future.

I was surprised he wasn't optioned after the first game.
It's very, very likely it's just to get a fresh bullpen arm available. I wouldn't read into it at all.
