Vincent (arm, shoulder) came out of a live batting practice session Friday with no setbacks and will likely see his first Cactus League action next week, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent threw in the neighborhood of 25 pitches Friday to Mitch Haniger (hand) and Ichiro Suzuki, and the fact the session left him no worse for wear inches him ever close to his spring debut. The 31-year-old was solid in 2017, generating a 3.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and career-high 29 holds across 64.7 innings in 69 appearances. He projects to fill the same setup role in the majority of his trips to the mound in the coming season, his third with the Mariners.

Vincent (shoulder) will toss a simulated game Friday, Shannon Drayer of MyNorthwest.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent has thrown a pair of bullpen sessions in recent days and claimed that he isn't experiencing any more discomfort in his shoulder. If all goes well with Friday's simulated game, the right-hander will likely make his Cactus League debut at some point next week.

Vincent (shoulder) threw another live bullpen session Tuesday and is reportedly not dealing with any more discomfort in his shoulder, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The reliever has been sidelined since the beginning of spring training due to what was initially tabbed as arm soreness. It seems like the issue is completely behind him now, but the Mariners are still opting to take things slowly with him. If all goes as planned, Vincent could face hitters later this week, which would give him plenty of time to be ready for Opening Day.

Vincent (arm) completed a "light" bullpen session Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent emerged from Saturday's session free of any setbacks, and is scheduled to throw again in a similar capacity Tuesday. Should all go well, he could progress to a live batting practice, but it's also possible the reliever could skip straight to game action.

Vincent has been suffering from arm soreness during the first couple weeks of spring camp but is expected to throw a live batting practice session in the coming days, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent is hopeful that he will be able to compete in Cactus League games after throwing BP later this week, but it remains to be seen how his arm will react to the throwing session. The reliever should enter the regular season at full health after establishing a clear-cut role within the team's bullpen in 2017.

Vincent agreed to a one-year deal with the Mariners on Friday, avoiding arbitration.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent compiled a 3.20 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over 64.2 innings of relief during his second season with Seattle in 2017. The right-hander saw a decent-sized drop in his strikeout rate, going from 9.7 K/9 in 2016 to just 7.0 last year. Regardless, he cut down on his walk rate (1.8 BB/9) and home runs allowed (0.42 HR/9) and should be deployed in high-leverage situations throughout the 2018 campaign.

Vincent (3-3) took the loss in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers, allowing two earned runs on three hits over an inning. He also recorded a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Despite throwing 14 of 15 pitches for strikes, Vincent allowed a sacrifice fly to Shin-Soo Choo and RBI single to Elvis Andrus, blowing the 1-1 tie he'd been asked to preserve. Vincent has endured a rough September after a stellar season overall, as he's allowed six earned runs over the 2.2 innings encompassing his last three appearances and now has a 10.80 ERA overall across his eight outings during the month.

Vincent logged his 21st hold in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Orioles, firing a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.

After a strong first half, he's been even better after the All-Star break, generating a 1.98 ERA and a .208 BAA over 13.2 innings.
