Abner Uribe Locks Down First Save Chance For Brewers
8 months agoMilwaukee Brewers right-hander Abner Uribe locked down the team's first save chance in the 3-1 Opening Day win over the New York Mets on Friday. There was a bit of a question as to who would see most of the save opportunities for the Brew Crew with regular closer Devin Williams (back) out for three months, but Uribe got the first chance over Joel Payamps. The 23-year-old threw a clean inning with no hits allowed, no walks and no strikeouts to pick up his second career save. Uribe was great in his first 32 relief appearances in 2023, posting a 1.76 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 20 walks and 39 K's. Although Payamps could still see save chances of his own for the Brewers, the fact that Uribe got the first opportunity can't be ignored. He's a must-add for fantasy managers in need of saves early on.
