Abner Uribe Emerging as New Closer in Milwaukee?

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Abner Uribe notched his first save of the season in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays. The right-hander needed just 12 pitches to dispatch Toronto in the top of the ninth, throwing eight of them for strikes and striking out one batter. With Trevor Megill's recent struggles, Milwaukee's closer has been moved to a setup role, leaving the door open for others to compete for save opportunities. With seven saves and a 30.2 percent strikeout rate last season, Uribe certainly fits the bill. Although his strikeout rate is down somewhat to start the year (25.8 percent), the 6-foot-3 fireballer has walked just one batter (3.2 percent) in eight innings pitched. However, it doesn't appear to be Uribe's job alone at the moment, as Angel Zerpa was called upon to shut the door for Milwaukee on Thursday, earning his second save of the season. Nevertheless, Uribe's profile likely gives him the edge as Zerpa owns an opponent batting average of .324 and just a 4:4 K:BB in 10 innings of work. The 25-year-old Uribe is available in almost 40 percent of leagues for managers looking to collect saves.

Abner Uribe Slides Into Closer Job on Wednesday, Earns Save for Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Abner Uribe stepped into a ninth-inning role on Wednesday night and pitched a perfect inning to secure his team's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays. Uribe retired the Jays in order with a strikeout to earn his first save of the season, and his velocity was back to where it was last season. Uribe's velocity had been down, and he gave up four runs in 6 1/3 innings in his first seven appearances before stepping up on Wednesday. The Brewers have been contemplating a closer change with Uribe and Trevor Megill both struggling, and Uribe delivered in this contest. He could secure the role going forward with more outings like this one, and if he does, he'll be a great closer option in all formats. If he's available in your league, he's a great pickup if you're searching for saves.

Abner Uribe to Take Over the Closer Job in Milwaukee?

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Abner Uribe is competing to be the team's primary closer in 2026. While that role belonged to Trevor Megill last season, Uribe has simply been the stronger bullpen arm and offers tremendous upside in save scenarios. Uribe finished 2025 with a 1.67 ERA, 10.75 K/9, and 3.23 BB/9 over 75 games (75.1 innings). He touched 100 mph with his fastball and racked up seven saves. Megill had 30 saves, but he was less effective overall with a 2.49 ERA and 3.23 xERA. The Brewers are lucky to have two capable closers competing for one job; there are very few teams in MLB that find themselves in that position. At the same time, though, this is a very important decision for the Brewers to make, and all things being equal, it seems like Uribe may be the favorite. He's the cheaper fantasy option, too, currently holding an ADP of 170 (compared to Megill's ADP of 135).

Abner Uribe Dominates Tigers; a Saves Candidate in Milwaukee?

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed reliever Abner Uribe showed his dominance on Tuesday in an exhibition appearance for Team Dominican Republic against the Detroit Tigers. Uribe struck out all three batters he faced in the outing and threw 11 of his 19 pitches for strikes. The 25-year-old's arrow is pointing up after going 3-2 with a career-best 1.67 ERA (2.75 FIP), 1.03 WHIP, career-high seven saves, career-high 90 strikeouts, and 27 walks in 75 1/3 innings pitched out of Milwaukee's bullpen. Uribe's filthy sinker hit 100.7 mph on the radar gun. Last year, Uribe also had a league-leading 37 holds over 75 appearances. In addition to a nasty sinker, Abner also possesses a wipeout slider that really gave hitters trouble in 2025. At worst, he'll be in a committee approach in Milwaukee for saves, and he has more fantasy upside than Trevor Megill.

Abner Uribe a Sneaky Target for Saves in 2026?

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Abner Uribe could be a candidate to earn save situations in 2026. The right-hander had a terrific season last year, posting a 1.67 ERA and 2.75 FIP across 75.1 innings of work. He racked up 10.75 K/9 and 3.23 BB/9, and he limited loud contact with 0.48 HR/9 and a 53.2% ground ball rate. Milwaukee's incumbent closer is Trevor Megill, who had 30 saves last year with a 2.49 ERA and 2.50 FIP. Megill was effective, but he also blew six saves and allowed hard contact at a greater rate than Uribe. Presumably, the Brewers want to at least open the season with a clearly defined closer, rather than operating out of a committee. Uribe has a chance to parlay a strong 2025 and a potentially strong spring training in 2026 into first dibs on save situations during the regular season. He currently ranks #20 among RotoBaller's relievers for the upcoming season, with additional upside.

Abner Uribe Secures Save on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Abner Uribe closed out a 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday to collect his fifth save of the year. The right-hander made quick work of the Pirates in the bottom of the ninth inning, inducing three groundouts to retire the side in order on eight pitches. Uribe has converted all three of his save opportunities since closer Trevor Megill (elbow) went on the 15-day injured list with a flexor strain on Aug. 25. Megill is on track to return by Sept. 16, which will push Uribe back into a setup role. With a league-leading 36 holds, Uribe has thrived pitching in front of Megill this season. The 25-year-old also boasts a sparkling 1.84 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP and 81:26 K:BB in 68 1/3 innings.

Abner Uribe Records Fourth Save

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Abner Uribe was called upon in the bottom of the ninth inning after his team took the lead in the top half of the inning. Uribe was handed a three-run lead and needed only 13 pitches to close down this game. He allowed a hit, but Uribe tossed a scoreless inning while striking out one batter to convert his fourth save of the season. Uribe has been asked to convert two straight save chances. He figures to be the primary closer while Trevor Megill (elbow) is out. Uribe has been fantastic this season and deserves to be rostered in most fantasy formats where saves matter.

Abner Uribe To Make Spring Debut On Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed reliever Abner Uribe (knee) is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox after he had knee surgery last July. Uribe had surgery last summer for a lateral meniscus tear but now he's finally been cleared to pitch in spring games as he prepares for the 2025 season. The ball jumps out of the 24-year-old's hand, and he possesses swing-and-miss stuff, but he struggled with control and was optioned to the minors a year ago before his season-ending knee injury. The Dominican hurler actually opened 2024 as Milwaukee's closer with Devin Williams injured, but he only ended up saving three games while posting an ugly 6.91 ERA while walking 12 and fanning 14 in 14 1/3 innings pitched at the major-league level. Uribe is a late-inning option for sure, but he's probably behind Trevor Megill and Joel Payamps on the Brewers' closer depth chart.

Abner Uribe "Going Slow" In Return To Action

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Abner Uribe (knee) is "going slow" as he returns from the right knee surgery he underwent in June of 2024. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Uribe's status during spring training as he could be in danger of missing Opening Day if he faces a setback. Another Milwaukee high-leverage arm, Trevor Megill (undisclosed) has also been limited during the start of spring training. Before the injury, Uribe posted a 6.91 with a 1.88 WHIP across 14 1/3 innings. He also tallied three saves and added 14 punchouts. During the 2023 season, Uribe was very effective as he posted a 1.76 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP with 39 strikeouts across 30 2/3 innings of work. If Uribe were to miss time early in the season, Joel Payamps would see most of the setup duties behind ninth-inning arm Trevor Megill.

Trevor Megill, Abner Uribe Have Path To Closer Role

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, both Trevor Megill and Abner Uribe have a viable path to operate as the closer during the 2025 season. With Devin Williams being traded to the New York Yankees, the ninth-inning role in Milwaukee is currently vacated. When Williams missed time during the first half of last summer with a back injury, Megill and Uribe both saw ample opportunities. Megill converted 20 saves, while Uribe only tallied three. However, Uribe was given the first save opportunity of the season but struggled to hold the job. Megill generated a solid 2.83 xERA, while Uribe posted a high 4.78 xERA. In addition, southpaw Aaron Ashby could also be a sleeper candidate for the role as he posted a stellar 1.37 ERA and 0.76 WHIP across his final 19 2/3 innings of relief last summer. For now, Megill should be viewed as the frontrunner and the name to target in early drafts.
