Atlanta outrighted Vines to Double-A Mississippi on Friday, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a little surprising that Vines passed through waivers unclaimed, but he will remain in the organization as rotation depth at Mississippi. Vines, 26, holds a 5.82 ERA and 23:11 K:BB over 34 innings during parts of two seasons at the major-league level.

Atlanta designated Vines for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction comes after Vines allowed three runs (two earned) over an inning out of the Atlanta bullpen earlier Monday in the club's 8-3 loss to the Brewers. Vines has struggled both in the majors (8.56 ERA) and minors (5.14 ERA) this season, but the 26-year-old was viewed as a solid prospect not long ago and could draw some interest via trade or waivers.

Atlanta recalled Vines from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Grant Holmes is scheduled to make his first MLB start Monday, but because he hasn't covered more than 3.1 innings in his 10 appearances since joining Atlanta in mid-June, he could be on a limited pitch count in the series opener in Milwaukee. With that in mind, Vines could be needed out of the bullpen to provide length behind Holmes. Vines has been a regular member of Gwinnett's rotation this season, but he's struggled over his three outings (two starts) with the big club in 2024, giving up 11 runs on 17 hits and four walks over 12.2 innings. If he isn't needed to work behind Holmes on Monday, Vines could be a candidate to fill the opening Atlanta has in its rotation for Tuesday's contest versus the Brewers.

Atlanta optioned Vines to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vines was recalled from Triple-A on Monday to give Atlanta additional bullpen depth, and he will now head back to the minors after allowing six earned runs in three innings during Friday's loss to the Pirates. The 26-year-old righty now owns a 7.82 ERA through 12.2 big-league innings but could still be relied upon as emergency depth later in the year.

Atlanta recalled Vines from Triple-A Gwinnett after Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was sent down in April after he gave up five runs over 9.2 frames in two starts for Atlanta, and he'll rejoin the big club ahead of Game 2 of Monday's twin bill. Vines will immediately be available out of the bullpen, but he could start Thursday against the Cubs if he's not called upon in the next couple days.

Vines (0-1) was the pitcher of record in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Rangers, allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out two over five innings. He was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett following the game, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Making his second start for Atlanta, Vines cruised through the first three innings before running into trouble in the fourth. Evan Carter led off the frame with a solo shot to right center before Andrew Knizner put the Rangers in front with a three-run blast. Outside of the fourth inning, Vines held his own against a dangerous lineup, but he'll head back to Gwinnett nonetheless to gain further seasoning. Atlanta will call up Bryce Elder from Gwinnett to take replace Vines on the 26-man active roster ahead of Monday's series opener versus the Marlins.

Vines is slated to start Sunday's game against the Rangers at Truist Park, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Vines will wind up getting at least one more turn through the rotation while filling in for Spencer Strider (elbow), who underwent season-ending surgery last week. In his 2024 MLB debut Monday, Vines was dealt a no-decision in Atlanta's 6-1 win over Houston after striking out four over 4.2 innings while allowing one run on four hits and three walks. He was lifted after 80 pitches Monday, but he could have that workload restriction loosened a bit if he's more efficient this weekend in a matchup with the reigning World Series champions. Even though Strider is out of the picture for 2024, Atlanta has plenty of appealing young arms in the upper levels of the minors, so Vines will need to continue to pitch well in his subsequent starts to ensure he sticks in the rotation on a more permanent basis.

Vines allowed one run on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings in a no-decision Monday. He struck out four in the win over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Vines was tagged with a run in the first inning but was able to settle in and put together a decent performance. He threw 46 of 80 pitches for strikes, including nine whiffs. It was Vines' first MLB appearance since Sep. 27 of last season. The 25-year-old likely pitched well enough to earn another turn in the rotation, but Atlanta's long-term plan to replace Spencer Strider (elbow) remains unclear for now.

Vines will start Monday's game against the Astros, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old was called up by Atlanta on Friday but wasn't needed out of the bullpen in Miami this weekend, Vines posted a 3.98 ERA over 20.1 frames in his first taste of the majors last season, and he got off to a solid start at Triple-A Gwinnett this year with a 3.75 ERA and 11:3 K:BB in two outings.

Atlanta recalled Vines from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander made his last start for Gwinnett on April 4 and should immediately be available out of the bullpen for Atlanta. However, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Vines could be an option to start Tuesday against the Astros, depending on his usage over the next few days. The 25-year-old Vines made his MLB debut last season and had a 3.98 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB across 20.1 innings.
