Nationals' Matt Cronin: Promoted to Triple-A

Cronin was promoted to Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Cronin was dominant as a reliever at Double-A Harrisburg to begin the season, as he posted a 22:7 K:BB and 0.75 WHIP in 16.1 scoreless innings over 14 appearances to begin the season. The southpaw has served as a non-roster invitee during the last two seasons, and he'll now be rewarded with a promotion to the Triple-A club.
