Vincent signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on July 7 and was assigned to Triple-A Toledo.
Vincent will catch on with his second organization of the season after he was cut loose by Atlanta in June. He pitched exclusively with Atlanta's Triple-A affiliate in Gwinnett prior to being released, posting a 5.12 ERA and 1.73 WHIP across 19.1 innings.

Nick Vincent: Heads to open market
Rotowire
Vincent was released by Atlanta on Monday.
The 35-year-old joined the organization as a non-roster invitee this spring but failed to secure a spot on the active roster. His 5.12 ERA in 19.1 innings for Triple-A Gwinnett isn't good, though it does come with a 27:4 K:BB, which should help him earn at least another minor-league deal on the open market.

Rotowire
Vincent was reassigned to minor-league spring training Friday.

Rotowire
Vincent signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Wednesday that includes an invite to major-league spring training.
Vincent made seven relief appearances for the Twins in 2021 and posted a 0.71 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 12.2 innings. Following his encouraging results over a limited sample, the right-hander will have a chance to earn a spot in Atlanta's bullpen ahead of the 2022 campaign.

Twins' Nick Vincent: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Vincent was outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Vincent inked a minor-league deal with the Twins over the summer and finished the season in the big-league bullpen. He was already set to hit free agency this offseason, so his removal from the 40-man roster is just a procedural move for Minnesota. The 35-year-old made seven major-league appearances and gave up one run in 12.2 innings.

The 34-year-old righty made two mid-August appearances with the Twins and allowed one run in 4.1 innings while striking out four. Vincent will likely pitch in low-leverage situations for however long he remains on the big-league roster this time around.

Vincent made two relief appearances during his week in Minnesota's bullpen and allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out four in 4.1 innings. However, he'll be cast off the 40-man roster to make room for left-hander Lewis Thorpe, who will start Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

Twins' Nick Vincent: Contract selected by Twins
Rotowire
Vincent's contract was selected by the Twins on Tuesday.
The 35-year-old has spent parts of nine seasons in the big leagues and owns a 3.38 career ERA. His ERA has come in at a mediocre 4.43 in both of the last two seasons, however, so he'll likely be limited to lower-leverage work for now.

Nick Vincent: Released from MiLB contract
Rotowire
Vincent, who signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers in March, was released Tuesday.
Vincent inked a MiLB deal with Texas just before Opening Day in hopes of eventually making his way back to the big leagues. Things didn't go according to plan for the veteran right-hander, as he posted a modest 4.11 ERA and unimpressive 1.66 WHIP with Triple-A Round Rock prior to Tuesday's release. Vincent could latch on with another club on what would most likely be another minor-league deal.

Twins' Nick Vincent: Signs minor-league contract
Rotowire
Vincent signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Wednesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
Vincent landed a minor-league contract with the Rangers in March but was released Tuesday after he posted a 4.11 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 15.1 innings across 15 relief appearances with Triple-A Round Rock. The 34-year-old will report to Triple-A St. Paul going forward, but he's made major-league appearances in each of the last nine seasons and could be an option to join Minnesota's bullpen at some point.

Rangers' Nick Vincent: Returns to Texas
Rotowire
Vincent signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Sunday.
Vincent was released by the Rangers on Saturday after failing to secure a spot on the team's Opening Day roster. However, the two sides were able to reach an agreement on a new minor-league deal just one day later. Vincent should begin the season at Triple-A Round Rock but could join the major-league club at some point in 2021.

Nick Vincent: Let go but could return
Rotowire
Vincent was released by the Rangers on Saturday, but the team hopes to re-sign him to a minor-league deal, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
Vincent failed to win a spot on Texas' Opening Day roster as a non-roster invitee, but the Rangers apparently still want to keep him around. The 34-year-old has recorded an ERA no worse than 4.43 in any of his nine big-league seasons, however, so it's possible he latches on elsewhere on a major-league deal.

Rangers' Nick Vincent: Joins Texas as non-roster invitee
Rotowire
Vincent signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Wednesday as a non-roster invitee, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Vincent has appeared in the majors in each of the past nine seasons, and he'll compete for a job in the Rangers' bullpen during spring training in 2021. The 34-year-old's contract was selected by the Marlins in early August 2020, and he recorded three saves for the team with a 4.43 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 22.1 innings across 21 relief appearances.

Marlins' Nick Vincent: Earns save in 10th inning
Rotowire
Vincent did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless 10th inning to earn the save Monday against Atlanta.
Vincent came in to maintain a one-run lead in the 10th inning, after Brandon Kintzler blew a save chance in the ninth frame. He needed only six pitches to do so, getting all three outs on balls in play. Vincent now has three saves on the season, but is most likely to pick up only occasional saves behind Kintzler.

Marlins' Nick Vincent: Stuck with loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Vincent (1-2) gave up a run on two hits in a loss to the Mets on Wednesday.
The Marlins erased a three-run deficit in the top of the eighth inning, only for Vincent to allow the Mets to retake the lead on Wilson Ramos' RBI single. The 34-year-old righty has a 3.97 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 11.1 innings this season, while adding a pair of saves. Vincent doesn't typically get much action in high-leverage situations, but he's put together a stable set of performances in 2020.

Marlins' Nick Vincent: Notches save Tuesday
Rotowire
Vincent hit a batter but pitched a scoreless seventh inning to earn the save in a 3-0 win over the Mets in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Vincent hit Brandon Nimmo with a pitch, but quickly erased the mistake by getting J.D. Davis to hit into a game-ending double play. The 34-year-old Vincent has picked up two saves in nine appearances this year. He has a 3.48 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and four strikeouts in 10.1 innings. Brandon Kintzler had pitched three innings over the last four days -- when he's unavailable, Vincent seems to be near the top of the list for collecting spot saves.
