Brewers' Abner Uribe: Candidate for saves
Abner Uribe (knee) is a candidate to earn save chances after Devin Williams was traded to the Yankees on Friday, Brian Murphy of MLB.com reports.Uribe began the 2024 season as the closer for the Milwaukee Brewers with Williams on the injured list, though he lost the role in mid-April and didn't appear in the majors after May 1. His primary appeal in the ninth-inning role is his velocity, as he averages over 100 mph on his fastball. However, he has a 16.6 percent walk rate in 45 career innings in the majors, leaving Trevor Megill as seemingly the top option entering 2025.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Expected to be ready for spring
Milwaukee Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said Thursday that Abner Uribe (knee) is expected to be 100 percent for the start of spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Uribe underwent surgery in July to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, an injury he suffered while at Triple-A Nashville. The hard-throwing righty had a brief turn as the Brewers' closer at the beginning of the season but finished with a 6.91 ERA and 1.88 WHIP across 14.1 innings in the majors. Uribe has the stuff to be a high-leverage reliever if he can throw enough strikes.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Out with knee injury
Abner Uribe was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Nashville on Friday due to a knee issue, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.The specifics of the injury are unclear, and Uribe is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday. The 23-year-old picked up three saves early in the season for the Milwaukee Brewers, but he was demoted in early May with a 6.91 ERA and 14:12 K:BB over 14 outings. Uribe was also suspended six games for his role in a benches-clearing brawling just before being demoted, though the ban was reduced to four games on appeal, per Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The right-hander will have to serve that suspension once back on the major-league roster, but the current focus is getting him healthy.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Demoted to Triple-A
The Milwaukee Brewers optioned Abner Uribe to Triple-A Nashville after Wednesday's win against the Rays, Adam McCalvy of MLB.comreports.It's been an eventful two days for Uribe, who is now headed to the minors after being handed a six-game suspension for his role in Tuesday's bench-clearing brawl versus the Rays. The right-hander appealed the ban and allowed a run on a hit and two walks over one inning Wednesday, and he now has a 6.91 ERA and 14:12 K:BB across 14.1 frames this season. The 22-year-old will likely be tasked with honing his command down at Triple-A, and the demotion will give Milwaukee some bullpen security with Freddy Peralta also facing a suspension, as Uribe won't begin serving his ban until he's back on the major-league roster.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Appealing six-game suspension
Abner Uribe received a six-game suspension Wednesday for his role in a benches-clearing brawl Tuesday in the Milwaukee Brewers' 8-2 win over the Rays, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. He has appealed the suspension and will be available for Wednesday's series finale versus Tampa Bay.In addition to Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy receiving a two-game ban, three players - Uribe, Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta (five games) and Rays outfielder Jose Siri (three games) - were suspended for their roles in Tuesday's brawl. Uribe's punishment is the most severe since he's considered to have incited the incident in the eighth inning, when he threw a punch at Siri after Siri grounded out. Uribe was ejected from the game, but he'll appeal the six-game suspension with the hope of getting the banishment reduced.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: PIcks up second win
Abner Uribe (2-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Padres after he allowed a hit and no walks in a scoreless eighth inning. He had one strikeout.The right-hander appeared set to blow a scoreless tie after giving up a leadoff triple, but he retired the next three batters on 10 pitches. Uribe entered in a non-save situation for the second straight day, while Joel Payamps closed out the ninth inning Wednesday for his second save of the campaign. Uribe and Payamps should be considered co-closers for the time being as the only Milwaukee Brewers relievers with any saves this season, besides Thyago Vieira's three-inning save.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Enters in fourth inning
Abner Uribe tossed 1.2 scoreless innings Tuesday against San Diego, allowing three hits and one walk with two strikeouts.Uribe had been operating as the Milwaukee Brewers' fill-in at closer for Devin Williams (back), but after blowing back-to-back save chances, Uribe slotted in as Milwaukee's first arm out of the bullpen Tuesday. Although he got five outs -- his first time exceeding one inning pitched this season -- and didn't yield a run, it seems Uribe is losing his hold on the closer role. If that's the case, look for Joel Payamps, Elvis Peguero or Hoby Milner to get some ninth-inning work.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Takes loss after blowing save
Abner Uribe (1-1) took the loss and blew a save Sunday against Baltimore. He allowed three hits and two runs over one inning without logging a strikeout.It wasn't a traditional save chance, as Uribe trotted out to the mound for the seventh inning with a one-run lead and gave up three consecutive singles to open the frame. With one run already plated and runners on first and third with no outs, Uribe got Adley Rutschman to ground into a double play, but the runner on third scored and gave the Orioles the lead. Uribe has blown back-to-back save chances after starting the campaign 3-for-3, falling to a 7.50 ERA over six innings. With the Milwaukee Brewers near the top of the National League standings, Uribe could start leaking ninth-inning work if he doesn't turn things around.
