Abner Uribe, 26, was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a forearm flexor strain, retroactive to Tuesday. An MRI showed no serious injury, and he participated in limited drills. Uribe had a 21-game scoreless streak since June 20 but struggled recently, walking two batters in his last outing. He holds a 2.05 ERA this season with 17 saves in 49 appearances.

The move opens a bullpen spot for Grant Anderson, 29, recalled from Triple-A Nashville. Anderson is 3-3 with a 3.70 ERA in 44 relief outings for Milwaukee. He was optioned Aug. 5 after left-hander Kyle Harrison returned from IL, posting a 12.00 ERA in three Triple-A appearances.

Uribe’s injury comes during his career-best season with Milwaukee, where he is 10-6 with a 2.24 ERA in 170 relief appearances. Anderson, meanwhile, has maintained a solid role despite fluctuations in performance. Both pitchers remain critical to the Brewers’ bullpen depth.

No return timeline exists for Uribe, though his ability to catch suggests potential for a quicker recovery. Anderson’s recall signals confidence in his adaptability, though his Triple-A struggles raise questions about consistency.
