Abner Uribe To Make Spring Debut On Wednesday
5 hours agoMilwaukee 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.
