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.

Braves' Nick Vincent: Signs with Atlanta
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.

Twins' Nick Vincent: Joins big-league squad

Vincent's contract was selected from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Rotowire
Vincent was designated for assignment by the Twins on Wednesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
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.

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.

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: 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.

Marlins' Nick Vincent: Selected to big-league roster
Rotowire
The Marlins selected the contract of Vincent to their big-league roster among their slew of moves before Tuesday's game, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
The Marlins had to rebuild a significant portion of their bullpen, but Brandon Kintzler remains active, so he's the best bet to close should a save situation arise. Vincent spent last season split between the Phillies and Giants, where he posted a 4.43 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 44.2 innings.

Marlins' Nick Vincent: Callup imminent
Rotowire
Vincent will be added to the Marlins' 30-man roster ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
Vincent signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins in late June that allowed him to work with the team during camp. After spending the start of the regular season at the alternate training site, Vincent will fill in as a reliever on the major-league roster amid the team's COVID-19 outbreak. The right-hander made 32 appearances (one start) with the Phillies and Giants last season but posted a career-worst 4.43 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 44.2 innings.

Marlins' Nick Vincent: Reaches deal with Miami
Rotowire
Vincent agreed Monday on a contract with the Marlins that includes a spot on the team's 60-man roster pool, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
While Vincent isn't expected to claim a spot on Miami's 40-man roster, his inclusion in the pool will make him eligible to appear in big-league games for the club this season. Vincent, who had previously attended spring training with the Giants before being released this month, submitted a 4.43 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 44.2 innings between San Francisco and Philadelphia in 2019.

Nick Vincent: Cut by San Francisco
Rotowire
Vincent was released by the Giants on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Vincent was brought back to San Francisco as a non-roster invitee in January after posting a 4.43 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 44.2 innings with the Giants and Phillies last season. The right-hander struggled in spring training, giving up seven earned runs over four innings. Given his injury history over the past two seasons, it's unclear whether Vincent will be able to find a spot on an active roster for the 2020 campaign.
