LOS ANGELES -- The Milwaukee Brewers placed right-hander Abner Uribe on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a forearm flexor strain and recalled right-hander Grant Anderson from Triple-A Nashville.
Uribe, 26, had an MRI that did not show a serious injury, and he was able to play catch. There is no timetable for a return. The IL move is retroactive to Tuesday.
He was on a run of 21 consecutive scoreless outings dating to June 20. He walked two batters in his most recent outing Sunday against the Minnesota Twins.
The Brewers' setup man was 4-2 with six saves and a 2.05 ERA over 49 appearances. In four MLB seasons, all with Milwaukee, he is 10-6 with 17 saves and a 2.24 ERA over 170 appearances, all in relief.
Anderson, 29, is 3-3 with a 3.70 ERA in 44 relief appearances for the Brewers this season. Anderson was optioned to Nashville on Aug. 5 when left-hander Kyle Harrison was activated off the injured list, and he had a 12.00 ERA at Triple-A in three relief outings.
