Uribe (6-3) earned the win after allowing a hit while striking out one over a scoreless inning in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Cardinals.
Uribe didn't have to work hard to get the job done, as he needed only 11 pitches (nine strikes) to cruise through the top of the eighth inning. He took over after St. Louis tied the game at 4-4 and kept it even with a scoreless frame; the Brewers then scored four runs in the bottom half of the inning, allowing the right-hander to earn the win. Uribe was activated from the 15-day IL list due to a forearm injury Aug. 31 and has looked dominant in September, going 2-1 with a 1.64 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 11.5 K/9 across 11 innings in 12 appearances.

The Brewers activated Uribe (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Shelved for the past three weeks with a right shoulder strain, Uribe made a pair of scoreless rehab appearances to clear the way for his return from the IL. He will resume his role as a primary setup man ahead of closer Trevor Megill.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Expected back Monday
Rotowire
Uribe (forearm) is expected to return from the injured list before Monday's game against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Out since Aug. 14 with a strained forearm, Uribe was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday and threw two scoreless innings while walking one batter and striking out three across two appearances. Once activated, he'll reclaim his role as Milwaukee's top setup man in front of closer Trevor Megill.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Starting up rehab assignment
Rotowire
Uribe (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday.
Uribe has been on the shelf since Aug. 14 due to a right forearm flexor strain, but he shouldn't need more than appearance or two in the minors to prove his health before rejoining the Milwaukee bullpen. Once activated, the right-hander will likely settle back in as one of the top setup arms in front of closer Trevor Megill.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Slated for bullpen session
Rotowire
Uribe (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Uribe just landed on the 15-day injured list this past Friday with a right forearm flexor strain, so it's a good sign that he's already able to throw from a mound. The right-handed reliever is eligible for activation Aug. 26, and he's tracking toward being ready by that time or shortly after.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Lands on IL with forearm strain
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Uribe on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, due to a right forearm flexor strain.
Uribe hasn't pitched since Sunday against the Twins, and it looks like it's been due to this recent injury. A minimum stint on the IL would have the right-hander back with in the majors by late August, and the positive for Uribe is that he played catch Thursday after an MRI for his right forearm came back clean, per Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv. Grant Anderson was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move to bolster the Milwaukee bullpen in Uribe's absence.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Snags sixth save
Rotowire
Uribe recorded his sixth save of the season in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Cardinals, walking one and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.
Trevor Megill had worked the prior two days and three of the last four, leaving him unavailable for closing duties in the afternoon contest, but Uribe is a more-than-capable alternative. It was Uribe's first save since May 19, but he's produced nine straight scoreless appearances, a stretch in which he's posted a 0.50 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB in 10 innings. He'll continue to be the next man up in the ninth inning whenever Megill is unavailable. With Milwaukee's primary closer headed into his final year of arbitration in 2027, it wouldn't be a shock to see Megill on the move at the trade deadline the way Josh Hader was in 2022, which would open the door for Uribe to take on the role full time.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Serving one-game ban Wednesday
Rotowire
The Brewers announced that Uribe has dropped his appeal of a one-game suspension and will serve the ban during Wednesday's contest in Cincinnati, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
MLB initially handed Uribe the suspension May 29, after he was deemed to have taken part in an unsportsmanlike celebration during his relief appearance against the Cardinals three days earlier. Uribe had continued to pitch for Milwaukee while appealing the ban, but after he was used in relief in four of the past five days, Wednesday marked an opportune time for him to drop the appeal. He'll be available for the Brewers following Thursday's team off day.
Uribe was suspended one game by Major League Baseball for his inappropriate celebration during an appearance Wednesday versus the Cardinals, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Uribe did a crotch-chopping celebration directed toward the Cardinals' dugout following an inning-ending strikeout. He is appealing the suspension and will be available to pitch out of the Brewers' bullpen until the appeal is heard or a settlement is reached. Uribe has logged a 4.19 ERA and 21:8 K:BB over 19.1 innings for Milwaukee this season and ranks second on the team with five saves.
