The Marlins claimed Cronin off waivers from the Astros on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third organization Cronin has been in this offseason after he previously went from the White Sox to the Astros via waivers. The 26-year-old sinkerballer allowed 11 runs over 11 innings for Chicago in 2023 in his first go-round in the majors.

Cronin was designated for assignment by the Astros on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cronin will lose his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Trey Cabbage, who was acquired via trade. The 26-year-old was a waiver claim from the White Sox earlier this month and he'll now go through the waiver process again.

The Astros claimed Cronin off waivers from the White Sox on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cronin had been designated for assignment last week. The 26-year-old reliever yielded 11 runs over 11 innings for Chicago in 2023 in his first taste of big-league action. Cronin doesn't miss many bats but has consistently posted groundball rates well over 50 percent during his time in the minors.

The White Sox designated Cronin for assignment Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cronin will lose his spot on Chicago's 40-man roster in order to make room for Tim Hill, who signed with the White Sox on Thursday. Despite logging a respectable 3.83 ERA through 51.2 frames with Triple-A Charlotte in 2023, Cronin struggled to find his footing in the big leagues, surrendering 11 runs in 11 innings over nine appearances.

The White Sox recalled Cronin from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
As Jesse Scholtens heads to the injured list, Cronin will return to the major-league roster a day after being optioned to the minors. The 26-year-old righty has given up 10 runs through 7.2 innings with the White Sox this season, so he likely still won't see much action while with Chicago.

The White Sox activated Cronin (hand) from the 15-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
Blisters on Cronin's right (throwing) hand forced him to the injured list Sept. 9. He allowed two runs over two innings in a rehab assignment with Charlotte, and he'll remain in the minors now that he's healthy.

Cronin was placed on the 15-day injured list with blisters on his right hand Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The assignment was made retroactive to Wednesday, so Cronin could return as soon as Sept. 22. The White Sox are unlikely to rush him back, however, as he's allowed 10 earned runs in 7.2 innings of relief this season, walking as many batters as he's struck out (six). Jose Urena's contract was selected in a corresponding move.

Cronin was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cronin put up a 7.71 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over seven innings in an earlier stint with the White Sox. The team hasn't announced a corresponding move, but worth noting is Jimmy Lambert departed an appearance Sunday with an ankle injury.

The White Sox optioned Cronin to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Cronin will head back to the minors to clear room on the 26-man active roster for designated hitter Eloy Jimenez (groin), who was reinstated from the paternity list. After garnering his first big-league call-up July 28, Cronin proceeded to make five appearances out of the White Sox bullpen, logging a 7.71 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over seven innings.
