I was downgraded on a paid international J ticket from F to Y when IAD-JFK switched to a CRJ200 at some point.
Ticket was issued by KL. DL took it over and reissued on any WAS-NYC flight I wanted that had an F cabin.
While I doubt you will be reaccommodated on another carrier for a downgrade for such a short flight, DL will literally accept anything else YOU propose on their metal - move back or forward by a day, go YYZ-NYC-DTW or YYZ-ATL-DTW etc to keep F all the way thru.
They also may offer you a $200 downgrade voucher if you stay on the downgraded flight, if you prefer that.
