Uribe pitched a perfect 10th inning to pick up the save in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.
Closer Devin Williams had pitched in the ninth inning to help maintain the tie. With the Brewers taking the lead in the 10th, Uribe was called upon to close the door and delivered with a perfect frame. Uribe has been great for the club since making his debut July 8, allowing only two runs while striking out 14 in 13.1 innings. Continued performances like this could lead to the Brewers relying on him in higher-leverage situations as Milwaukee makes its playoff push.

Rotowire
Uribe walked one and struck out three in a scoreless ninth inning during Thursday's 4-0 victory over the Phillies.
With the Brewers in a non-save situation and looking to conserve their regular high-leverage relievers, manager Craig Counsell turned to Uribe and he delivered. The 23-year-old rookie is off to a strong start at the top level, allowing just one earned run over 4.1 innings while giving up three hits and posting a 7:1 K:BB.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Promoted to big leagues
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Uribe from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Uribe has quickly ascended through the Brewers' farm system this season, posting a 1.96 ERA and 1.13 WHIP while striking out 41 batters through 23 frames between Double-A Biloxi and Triple-A Nashville. The 23-year-old righty can touch 103 mph with his fastball, and he could be in the mix for high-leverage outings down the line if his incredible strikeout rate translates into the bigs. Tyson Miller was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Climbs to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers promoted Uribe from Double-A Biloxi to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
The right-hander will head to the International League after he dazzled over his 15 relief appearances at Biloxi, striking out 28 in 15 innings while allowing just three earned runs and 17 baserunners. Uribe already possesses a spot on the Brewers' 40-man roster, so it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to join the big-league bullpen by the end of the season if he continues to thrive with Nashville.

Rotowire
Uribe was placed on the 7-day injured list Thursday at Double-A Biloxi due to right knee soreness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
It's not considered a serious injury, but the Brewers will play things cautiously with one of their top relief prospects. Uribe, 22, has registered a 1.00 ERA with 17 strikeouts through nine innings this season out of Biloxi's bullpen.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Optioned to Double-A
Rotowire
Uribe was optioned Monday to Double-A Biloxi, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Uribe reached Double-A for two appearances in 2022, and it looks like the right-hander will return to Biloxi to open this season. The right-hander was limited to just those two games because of a torn meniscus in his right knee, but he shows a fastball that can touch triple digits and a swing-and-miss slider, and he could make his MLB debut sometime this summer.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Added to 40-man roster
Rotowire
Uribe was added to the Brewers' 40-man roster Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
No Brewers pitcher throws harder than Uribe, who has touched 104 mph with his fastball in the past. He struck out 14 while giving up one earned run and walking two in 10 innings in the Arizona Fall League after a knee injury limited him to three innings at Double-A this past year.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Getting innings in at AFL
Rotowire
Uribe (knee) has struck out three and scattered four hits and no walks across three scoreless innings through his first three appearances in the Arizona Fall League.
Uribe is back in action after missing nearly all of the 2022 minor-league campaign due to the torn meniscus in his left knee that he suffered in April. After a prolonged recovery from surgery, the 22-year-old right-hander looks to have regained his velocity, with Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com noting that Uribe's fastball has occasionally touched triple digits. Uribe is likely to open the 2023 season at Double-A Biloxi, but he could surface as an option in the big-league bullpen during the second half if health prevails.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Undergoes knee surgery
Rotowire
Uribe underwent surgery Tuesday to repair the meniscus in his left knee and will be sidelined for 6-to-8 months, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Uribe is a flamethrower who was moving up prospect lists, but his season will come to an early end due to his injury. If all goes as planned with his recovery, the 21-year-old righty should be ready to go when spring training rolls around in 2023.
