Brewers' Abner Uribe: Converts two-inning save in Game 5
Rotowire
Uribe notched a save Saturday against the Cubs in Game 5 of the NLDS, walking one batter and allowing no hits over two scoreless innings.
Uribe entered in the eighth inning with the Brewers holding a 3-1 lead. He walked the second batter he faced but didn't allow any other Chicago baserunners as he finished off the win and Milwaukee's first postseason series victory since 2018. This was Uribe's second appearance of the NLDS, and altogether he pitched three scoreless and hitless frames while posting a 3:1 K:BB. The right-hander should again have a critical high-leverage role for the Brewers in the NLCS against the Dodgers.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Collects seventh save
Rotowire
Uribe pitched a clean inning with no strikeouts to pick up the save in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Reds.
The Milwaukee flamethrower required only eight pitches, five of which were strikes, to secure his team's 97th win. Even with Trevor Megill (elbow) being activated earlier in the day, Uribe was called upon for this save because Megill handled the fourth inning and picked up the win. Uribe closes out his regular season with a 1.67 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 90:27 K:BB across 75.1 total innings.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Notches sixth save
Rotowire
Uribe earned the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Padres, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.
Uribe has been sharp since taking over as Milwaukee's primary closer in Trevor Megill's (elbow) absence. Uribe has gone seven innings without allowing an earned run, allowing just four hits and one walk while striking out 10 in that span. Overall, the right-hander has converted six of eight save chances this season while posting a sparkling 1.70 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP and 90 strikeouts across 74.1 innings.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Earns third win of 2025
Rotowire
Uribe (3-2) came away with the win in Saturday's extra-inning game against the Cardinals, allowing one unearned run on a walk and a hit-by-pitch in one inning. He did not record a strikeout.
Uribe was brought in for the 10th to keep the game tied at 7-7, but he proceeded to load the bases after hitting Victor Scott with a pitch and walking Brendan Donovan. Uribe was able to limit the damage to one run after Ivan Herrera grounded out into a double play to bring home Jordan Walker, and the right-hander was credited with the win after the Brewers scored two runs in the bottom of the frame. Uribe has yielded just four runs (two earned) across his last 23 innings since the All-Star break and sports a 1.82 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 69.1 innings this season. He should continue to operate as Milwaukee's primary closer until Trevor Megill (elbow) can return from the IL.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Secures fifth save
Rotowire
Uribe worked a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his fifth save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Pirates.
The right-hander got three groundball outs on an efficient eight pitches (six strikes). Uribe has had no issues stepping into the closer role for Milwaukee, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 4:2 K:BB in six innings and converting all three of his save chances since Trevor Megill (elbow) landed on the IL. Megill could be back by the middle of September, but Uribe should have a firm grip on the ninth-inning job until then.
Uribe gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his fourth save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.
The Brewers broke open a 1-1 tie in the top of the ninth, and Uribe closed things out in the bottom of the frame on 13 pitches (seven strikes). The right-hander has converted two straight save chances since Trevor Megill (elbow) landed on the IL, but with Milwaukee's regular closer expressing optimism that he'll be able to return when first eligible Sept. 9, Uribe's stint as the team's top save option may not last too long. He's been outstanding in any role, not allowing an earned run in 19 innings since the All-Star break with a 0.95 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB.
Uribe earned the save in Monday's win over Arizona, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
With Trevor Megill unavailable after throwing 34 pitches Sunday, the Brewers called on the setup man Uribe, who retired the side in order to lock down his third save of the year. The right-hander has now gone 17 straight appearances without allowing an earned run, a streak that runs through the entire second half. Uribe has quietly put together a dominant season, posting a 1.71 ERA with 78 strikeouts in 63.1 innings, and was ready when called upon in a high-leverage spot.
Uribe earned the save in Sunday's 6-5 win against the Dodgers, allowing one run on three hits and one walk in one inning with no strikeouts.
The flamethrowing right-hander held on to lock down the win despite conceding three singles in this 23-pitch performance against the vaunted Los Angeles lineup. Because Trevor Megill pitched consecutive days Friday and Saturday, Uribe was afforded the opportunity to pick up his second save of the season. This outing shows that if anything were to happen to Megill, Uribe, who has pitched to a 2.42 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 60:19 K:BB across 48.1 total innings, would be the favorite to take over the closer role in Milwaukee.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Strikes out side for rare save
Rotowire
Uribe picked up the save in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles after striking out the side in the ninth inning.
Closer Trevor Megill and setup man Nick Mears had both worked the prior two days, paving the way for Uribe to receive his first save opportunity of the year. Uribe hasn't given up a run in any of his last 13 appearances, and he boasts a 1.19 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB over 22.2 innings this season. The 24-year-old right-hander is unlikely to see save chances when most of Milwaukee's high-leverage arms are available, but Uribe is tied for the National League lead with 12 holds.
Brewers' Abner Uribe: On roster, serving four-game ban
Rotowire
Uribe won a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster and will serve a four-game suspension to begin the season.
MLB initially suspended Uribe for six games after he intentionally threw a pitch at Rays outfielder Jose Siri in an April 30, 2024 contest. The Brewers demoted Uribe to Triple-A Nashville immediately after he received the suspension, which was later downgraded to a four-game ban following a successful appeal. However, Uribe never served the suspension after he was diagnosed in June with a lateral meniscus tear in right knee, which required season-ending surgery. After returning healthy for spring training, Uribe secured his spot in the Milwaukee bullpen, but he'll have to wait until next week to make his 2025 debut while he serves the suspension.
