Impact De La Cruz's demotion comes as a bit of a surprise, as he appeared in 58 games for the Marlins last year and was in contention to serve as the team's starting center fielder ahead of the 2022 campaign. However, the team will opt to send him to the minors for more regular at-bats early in the year rather than have him take on a depth role for Miami. He appeared in four spring games this year and went 2-for-7 with a double and a run.
