The Brewers won three of four games against the defending champion Dodgers despite missing key players including Brice Turang, Sal Frelick, Cooper Pratt, and Abner Uribe. Strong pitching from Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson helped Milwaukee capitalize on a struggling Dodgers bullpen that has posted a 4.55 ERA since the All-Star Break.

Reviewing the BrewBrewers Place Abner Uribe On Injured List
The Brewers placed relief pitcher Abner Uribe on the 15-day injured list due to a flexor strain, with Grant Anderson called up from Triple-A Nashville to fill the roster spot. Uribe has been one of baseball's most effective setup men this season, posting a 2.05 ERA over 48 1/3 innings with 18 holds and only two blown leads. Though imaging came back clean and Uribe downplayed the injury, his absence puts additional pressure on the bullpen as Milwaukee battles for playoff positioning in a tight NL Central race.
