Milwaukee Brewers Announce Abner Uribe News
Uribe has been on a rehab assignment since August 25th, 2026. The Brewers have announced news regarding Uribe’s return to the MLB team.
“Made rehab appearances for High-A Wisconsin on Aug. 25 and 28, and he is expected to be active for the Brewers’ series at Wrigley Field against the Cubs,” the team wrote on MLB.com
Additionally, some insiders have similar reports.
“Abner Uribe and JoJo Romero are back with the Brewers today. Uribe should be activated from the IL on Monday for the start of the Cubs series. For Romero, TBD,” Adam McCalvy reports.
Having the 26-year-old arm back in the bullpen will be a sight for sore eyes.

Abner Uribe versus the Chicago Cubs
While it’s unfortunate that Uribe couldn’t be ready to help the Brewers when facing the Rangers, it’s a good thing he’ll be back to play the pesky Cubs.
Luckily for the Brewers, Uribe has done well against them.
In 32 at-bats, Uribe has only surrendered three hits, and only one was for extra bases. Michael Conforto, Ian Happ, and Nico Hoerner are the only three batters to record a hit against Uribe.
Additionally, he has recorded nine strikeouts and five walks.
One way or another, Uribe returning to the bullpen is nothing but good news for the Brewers.
For everyone else, it’s nothing but bad news.
