Vincent notched his 16th hold in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Mets, firing a scoreless seventh inning and recording two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the disappointing team outcome, Vincent continued to serve as perhaps the most trusted bullpen option on the Mariners, with Friday's production lowering his ERA to 1.87. The 31-year-old right-hander now has five straight scoreless appearances and has allowed just one home run over 43.1 innings this season.

Vincent will not be available out of the bullpen Thursday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll get the night off after making five appearances in the last six days, so the Mariners will be without one of their key middle relievers for their series opener against the Yankees. James Pazos or Steve Cishek could fill Vincent's role depending on the matchup, but Vincent figures to be available again Friday.

Vincent notched his 14th hold in Monday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Astros despite allowing an earned run on three hits over one-third of an inning. He also recorded a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
After an extended stretch of success that included scoreless appearances in 23 of 24 appearances, Vincent was human Monday in his fourth consecutive outing, allowing a trio of singles and getting just one out on a strikeout of Jake Marisnick before getting the hook. The 31-year-old right-hander was then charged with his first earned run since July 2 when Steve Cishek gave up a game-tying sacrifice fly to George Springer. Despite pitching to contact Monday, Vincent's 2.08 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 14 holds and heavy workload keep him viable in AL-only and deeper formats.

Vincent was credited with his 12th hold in Friday's 4-2 win over the White Sox, firing a scoreless eighth inning and recording two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent got 10 of his 13 offerings into the strike zone while efficiently disposing of Adam Engel, Tim Anderson and Melky Cabrera. The 31-year-old has strung together five straight scoreless appearances and now boasts a 1.96 ERA and 1.04 WHIP over 36.2 innings.

Vincent fired a scoreless two-thirds of an inning in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Royals, allowing a hit and recording a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old right-hander had been touched up for two earned runs on four hits while getting just one out against the Angels on Sunday, so Wednesday's effort, however brief, was a welcome sight. Vincent's stumbles have been rare, as the aforementioned outing marked only the third time in 34 appearances in which he'd surrendered multiple earned runs, and only his fourth time being scored upon overall. His 2.20 ERA, 10 holds and 1.10 WHIP all are contributing to some fantasy relevance in deeper formats for the veteran reliever.

Vincent notched his ninth hold in Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Tigers, allowing a hit over a scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
After the Mariners had rallied to take a 7-4 lead with four runs in the seventh, Vincent served as an effective bridge to closer Edwin Diaz in the ninth. It was the veteran right-hander's third hold over the last four nights and fifth overall in six June appearances. Vincent has a 14-appearance scoreless streak that dates back to May 14 and has lowered his ERA from 3.06 to 1.80 in the process.

Vincent fired 1.1 scoreless innings in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Rangers, allowing a walk and recording a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent has now rattled off 12 straight scoreless efforts lowering his ERA from 3.06 to 1.95 and racking up all seven of his holds this season in the process. The 30-year-old right-hander has been an especially valuable asset considering he's able to work multiple innings and has allowed just one home run over 27.2 innings.

Vincent has given up six runs on 23 hits through 26.1 innings this season.
EDGE Analysis
After starting the season in a middle-innings role for Seattle, Vincent has been rewarded with higher-stress situations. He has an 8.2 scoreless innings streak dating back to May 14 that has brought his ERA down to 2.05, and has five holds in his last seven appearances. He's been especially dominant at home this season, not giving up a run in 12.1 innings with 11.7 strikeouts per nine innings. If Vincent continues to pitch with these results, owners should expect his name to keep being called when the Mariners find themselves with leads late in games.

Vincent notched his second hold of the season in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Nationals, allowing one hit and recording a strikeout over two-thirds of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old fired seven of his nine pitches for strikes in what was his fifth straight scoreless appearance. Vincent has only had one stumble since early April, when he gave up three earned runs on May 13 against the Blue Jays. He's otherwise posted scoreless efforts in his 17 other outings since April 11 while compiling two wins and two holds over that stretch.

Vincent (2-1) fired a scoreless ninth inning in Thursday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old right-hander was the pitcher of record when Guillermo Heredia singled home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth, giving him his second win of the season, both of which have come in his last five outings. Outside of a hiccup against the Blue Jays on May 13 when he surrendered three earned runs, Vincent has been outstanding for over a month, racking up 15 scoreless outings in 16 appearances over that span and lowering his ERA from 7.36 to 2.70 in the process.
