Abner Uribe Lands on IL With Flexor Strain
Milwaukee's top setup man is sidelined with a forearm issue, though clean imaging offers optimism for a short absence.
The Brewers placed Abner Uribe on the 15-day injured list retroactive to August 11 with a flexor strain in his forearm. Uribe has been one of the league's best setup men, posting a 2.05 ERA over 48.1 innings this season with 18 holds. He told reporters that imaging came back clean and he will take a few days off before resuming a throwing program. The loss is significant for Milwaukee, which holds a 3.5-game lead in the NL Central and is competing for a top NL seed.
