Vincent could see some save chances with Edwin Diaz removed from the closer role Tuesday, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like the plan is mix and match at the back end of the bullpen as Diaz works to straighten out his mechanics in lower-leverage situations. Vincent, Steve Cishek, Tony Zych and Marc Rzepczynski could all factor into Seattle's closer committee. While Vincent has just four career saves under his belt, three of those came last year with Seattle, and he's been excellent so far this year with a 2.84 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 19 frames.

Vincent fired a scoreless seventh inning in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander needed a scant six pitches to get through the seventh, setting down Luke Maile, Kevin Pillar and Darwin Barney in short order. The 30-year-old righty bounced back nicely after giving up three earned runs on three hits over an inning just a night earlier, which had been the first time in 13 appearances he'd been scored on. Vincent has been largely effective after a rough spring, generating a 2.89 ERA and 15:3 K:BB over 18.2 innings.

Vincent (1-0) fired a scoreless eighth inning in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Phillies, giving up two hits and a walk while also recording a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander managed to limit his one frame to 14 pitches despite allowing three baserunners, but he needed a stellar defensive play to escape unscathed and preserve what is now a 13-inning scoreless streak. Standout rookie Ben Gamel was able to gun down Daniel Nava at home after securing Maikel Franco's flyball, logging the third out of the inning and preventing the Phillies from snapping a 9-9 tie. Vincent's ERA is down to 1.62 following Tuesday's effort, and he sports an equally impressive 15:3 K:BB and 0.84 WHIP.

Vincent fired a scoreless 1.2 innings in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander got through his outing in an efficient 18 pitches, 12 of which he threw for strikes. Following a bumpy start to the season, Vincent has been one of manager Scott Servais' most consistent options out of the bullpen, with Saturday marking his seventh straight scoreless appearance.

Vincent, who generated a 9.00 ERA and surrendered five home runs this spring, has shown marked improvement since the beginning of the regular season, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vincent's struggles were the subject of some hand-wringing during a rough nine-appearance spring stint, but manager Scott Servais never seemed to lose faith in his veteran right-hander. As he did in the case of Vincent's bullpen mate Marc Rzepzcynski, Servais declared the thin air of the Cactus League as a major culprit for the unsightly numbers. The 30-year-old has largely validated his manager's confidence thus far in the regular season, firing 4.1 scoreless innings across his last four appearances heading into Thursday night's game versus the Athletics. "He's making pitches and expanding the strike zone," Servais said. "I don't know how he does it. There's some deception in there and the late movement and the cutter has been really effective for him. Early in the year, he struggled a little bit with the lefties like last year. But he's made some adjustments and he's getting through those guys pretty well."

Vincent pitched a scoreless ninth inning in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Rangers, striking out the side.

EDGE Analysis

Vincent needed only 13 pitches to dispose of Delino DeShields, Carlos Gomez and Elvis Andrus and close out a masterful performance by starter James Paxton. It was the second consecutive three-strikeout appearance by the 30-year-old reliever after giving up three earned runs over his first three appearances of the season. Vincent brings plenty of strikeout upside, as already evidenced in the early going this season and by his 233 whiffs over 217 career innings.

Vincent surrendered two earned runs on three hits over one inning in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Angels. He also recorded a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old reliever has now been scored on in two of his first three outings of the season. Sunday, Vincent surrendered two-run single to Ketel Marte in the seventh that appeared rather innocuous at the time considering the Mariners held an 8-1 lead coming into the frame. Despite some early struggles, Vincent is expected to be heavily counted on again this season after racking up 17 holds over 60 appearances in 2016.

Vincent fired two scoreless innings in Wednesday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Astros, giving up two hits.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old racked up 17 holds over 60 appearances last season and has already been deployed twice in the first three games of 2017. It was an encouraging outing for Vincent, who endured a rough spring in which he gave up 10 runs (eight earned) over eight innings across nine appearances -- leading to a 9.00 ERA and .324 BAA -- and who surrendered an earned run in two-thirds of an inning on Opening Day.

Vincent, who's given up five home runs in 5.2 innings this spring, is nevertheless not the subject of manager Scott Servais' concern, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. "I'm anxious to get him out of this environment. It's tough for him and how he pitches. He pitches up in the zone and is a fly-ball pitcher. It hasn't worked out so great for him this spring. But he's healthy, he feels fine."

EDGE Analysis

Vincent tends to give up plenty of flyballs and sported the worst HR/9 rate of his career last season (1.64), but the Mariners remain confident in their 30-year-old reliever. The dry air typically present in Cactus League games has not done Vincent any favors this spring, as he's seen the ball leave the yard in five of his six appearances thus far. However, he's being counted on as a key bullpen piece after amassing 17 holds and three saves over 60.3 innings last season, his first in Seattle.

Vincent agreed to a one-year deal with the Mariners on Friday, avoiding arbitration, MLB.com's Greg Johns reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is his first year as an arbitration-eligible player. The terms of the agreement were not announced. Vincent should spend most of the season working in the 7th and 8th innings.
