After losing his appeal, Abner Uribe sits out Wednesday's finale against the Cincinnati Reds. The forced rest offers the overworked high-leverage arm a breather before the Milwaukee Brewers' scheduled day off.
The Milwaukee Brewers have finally announced the fate of Abner Uribe's one game suspension.
Sadly, Uribe didn't win his appeal, and the 26-year-old will indeed be serving his suspension tonight.
Wednesday, May 24, marks the date Uribe won't be available. Ultimately, this isn't the worst case scenario.
Uribe had just pitched in back-to-back games, and he's appeared in four of the team's last five. Now, he gets to serve his suspension for the series finale in Cincinnati, and enjoy another day off as the Brewers don't have a game on Thursday, May 25.
Uribe Serving Suspension in Reds Finale
Milwaukee hasn't needed to go super deep into its bullpen during this Reds series. Both games saw Brandon Woodruff and Brandon Sproat go six innings which paved the way for the A-Team to come in and do their job.
Of course, Uribe is part of that, but seeing him pitch in three straight games would be quite a tall ask, even for Pat Murphy.
Uribe will sit the series finale out, but in the process, earns himself an extra day of rest. The reliever has been phenomenal in the month of June, but there's only so much Murphy and company can get out of him before he's overworked and something goes wrong.
Overall, Uribe has allowed just six hits in 8.0 innings pitched this month. He's allowed a pair of runs, but one of those came on June 2. Keep in mind, he had a stretch of five days off from June 2 to June 7. Upon his return on June 8, he's allowed just three hits and one run which happened to be a solo homer.
Brewers Bullpen is in a Good Spot
When looking at who's available for the series finale, Milwaukee has a ton of viable options. Of course, how the game goes will directly impact who Murphy and pitching coach Chris Hook decide who's needed.
Chad Patrick is as fresh as he's been, and everyone unnamed Aaron Ashby, Uribe, and Trevor Megill are good to go.
That's not to say Ashby or Megill won't make an appearance, but they already pitched in the first two games of the series. Knowing Milwaukee has the day off tomorrow, this gives them an opportunity to empty the bullpen. Hopefully, it's a lopsided game and these pitchers aren't overexposed, specifically Ashby and Megill who have already had quite the workload this season.
