Where things stand
Abner Uribe has struggled in recent regular-season appearances, allowing runs in critical moments during Milwaukee's loss to Cincinnati, though he remains part of the Brewers' core bullpen group heading into the postseason. Earlier in the season, Uribe was moved from a traditional eighth-inning role to a flexible high-leverage reliever tasked with facing opposing teams' most dangerous hitters, a shift that paid dividends through the early playoff rounds. During the NLCS against Los Angeles, however, manager Pat Murphy's decision to leave Uribe in to face Will Smith backfired when Smith hit a two-run double to give the Dodgers the lead in Game 3.

Abner Uribe coverage
Unsung hero from Brewers' Game 3 victory overshadows Pat Murphy's questionable bullpen decision
The Brewers defeated the Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLCS behind several offensive contributions, including Jackson Chourio's leadoff homer and Jake Bauers' go-ahead home run off Blake Snell. Manager Pat Murphy made a questionable decision by leaving struggling reliever Abner Uribe in the game to face Will Smith, who hit a two-run double to give Los Angeles the lead. DL Hall entered after the damage was done and delivered 2.1 scoreless innings of relief, becoming an unsung hero as the Brewers' offense rallied to win the game in the seventh inning.
Reviewing the BrewHow Pat Murphy’s Game 2 Aaron Ashby gamble changes Brewers’ pitching plan going forward
Manager Pat Murphy has adjusted his bullpen usage in the postseason, moving Abner Uribe from a traditional eighth-inning role to high-leverage matchups against opposing right-handers. In Game 2 of the NLCS, Murphy kept Aaron Ashby in the game for both the eighth and ninth innings despite having closer Trevor Megill available, a decision based on matchups with left-handed Dodgers batters Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy. Ashby retired all three batters he faced in the ninth to secure the save and extend Milwaukee's series lead to 2-0. The Brewers' bullpen has been dominant through six playoff games, allowing just one earned run across 28.2 innings.

Manager Pat Murphy has adjusted Abner Uribe's role in the postseason, moving him from a traditional eighth-inning setup position to a flexible high-leverage reliever who faces opposing teams' most dangerous hitters. Uribe has appeared in all six of Milwaukee's postseason games without allowing an earned run, including a strikeout of Mookie Betts in Game 2 of the NLCS against Los Angeles. The Brewers' bullpen overall has been exceptional, posting a 0.31 ERA across 28.2 innings, and made history by throwing five perfect relief innings in the 7-4 victory over the Dodgers.
Reviewing the BrewWhat makes the Brewers' 2026 bullpen so tough to match up against
The Milwaukee Brewers' bullpen dominated in their four-game NLDS victory over San Diego, allowing just one earned run across 19 innings while striking out 11 batters. Manager Pat Murphy's core relievers—Trevor Megill, Abner Uribe, Aaron Ashby, and DL Hall—combined for 15 scoreless innings, with each pitcher offering a distinct arm slot and pitch arsenal that creates difficult matchups for opposing hitters. The group's diversity includes high-slot righties and lefties with vertical movement, low-slot pitchers relying on horizontal movement, and complementary arms like JoJo Romero, making it difficult for opponents to find favorable at-bats regardless of their handedness.

Trevor Megill led the team with 30 saves, while Aaron Ashby, Abner Uribe, and Chad Patrick combined for 16 additional saves. Beyond this core group, the Brewers have several other reliable relievers including DL Hall (1.91 ERA), trade deadline acquisition JoJo Romero (3.38 ERA in 11 appearances), and rookie Shane Drohan (1.47 ERA in relief appearances), with Antonio Senzatela and Kyle Harrison available for specific matchups as the team enters the NLDS against San Diego.

The Brewers also have nominees in catcher Willson Contreras, outfielder Joey Chourio, pitcher Misiorowski, and relievers Devin Megill and Joel Uribe, though most face strong competition from other league standouts.

Brew Crew BallThe ignored strength of the Brewers' 2026 roster that will carry them in the postseason
The Brewers' bullpen has been a strength during their recent playoff runs, posting a 1.80 ERA last season and continuing that excellence into 2026. Key contributors Trevor Megill, Abner Uribe, Chad Patrick, and Jacob Misiorowski all return, with Misiorowski now functioning as an ace contending for the NL Cy Young Award while the others remain in relief roles. Megill is fully healthy this season after missing September last year with an injury, and has converted his last 20 save opportunities, while Aaron Ashby is performing better than he did a year ago. Manager Pat Murphy has access to a versatile mix of right-handed and left-handed relievers, with the bullpen posting an MLB-best 2.22 ERA in August.
