Abner Uribe Bounces Back to Earn Fifth Save, Is He Still Milwaukee's Primary Closer?
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Abner Uribe notched his fifth save of the season on Tuesday, pitching a scoreless ninth inning with a strikeout in his team's 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs. After blowing a save and allowing three earned runs on May 13 against the San Diego Padres, Uribe was temporarily demoted to a setup role in front of fellow Brewers reliever Trevor Megill. However, Megill worked the seventh inning on Tuesday, allowing Uribe to slide back into the ninth-inning role. Uribe hasn't been able to repeat the dominance he showed in 2025 so far this season, as he owns a 4.42 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP with 19 strikeouts across 18 1/3 innings. Still, his usage on Tuesday is a positive sign that the Brewers still view him as their primary closer. Uribe may not see every save opportunity for Milwaukee going forward, but he's worth targeting on the waiver wire in any league where he may have been dropped after his recent struggles.
