The Padres have optioned reliever Miles Mikolas to Triple-A Tucson and recalled right-hander Nick Vincent from their top farm club.

The team announced the moves Monday before playing the Houston Astros.

Mikolas made 15 appearances for San Diego, going 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA. The right-hander began the season with Tucson before making his debut for the Padres on May 5 in Miami.

Vincent is in his second stint with the Padres this season. He had appeared in four games for San Diego, all in relief. He earned his first major league win June 28 in Houston and had allowed four runs in 4 2-3 innings.
