Abner Uribe to Serve One-Game Suspension on Wednesday
The Milwaukee Brewers said that right-handed reliever Abner Uribe will serve his one-game suspension on Wednesday night in Cincinnati against the division-rival Reds, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Major League Baseball handed Uribe a one-game suspension for what they deemed an unsportsmanlike celebration during his relief appearance against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals in late May. He has continued to be available out of Milwaukee's bullpen while appealing the suspension, but he'll now accept the ban after pitching in four of the last five days. He'll be unavailable for the series finale on Wednesday at Great American Ballpark, but he'll be back in the Brewers' bullpen for Friday's series opener at home against the division-rival Chicago Cubs. Right-hander Trevor Megill is the team's primary closer, but Uribe has value in fantasy leagues that count holds. Going into Wednesday's action, the 26-year-old Dominican hurler has a 4-2 record with a 3.38 ERA (3.44 FIP), 1.12 WHIP, five saves, 31 strikeouts, and 11 walks in 29 1/3 relief innings. Uribe is rostered in 56% of Yahoo leagues.
