Abner Uribe - Climbs to Triple-AThe Brewers promoted Uribe from Double-A Biloxi to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
ImpactThe right-hander will head to the International League after he dazzled over his 15 relief appearances at Biloxi, striking out 28 in 15 innings while allowing just three earned runs and 17 baserunners. Uribe already possesses a spot on the Brewers' 40-man roster, so it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to join the big-league bullpen by the end of the season if he continues to thrive with Nashville.

Sal Frelick - Begins rehab in ACLFrelick (thumb) began a minor-league rehab assignment Friday with the Brewers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate and has gone 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run...
ImpactFrelick manned center field in both contests and now looks as though he'll need only a few more games in the lower levels of the minors before he's ready to return to action at Triple-A Nashville. Prior to spraining his left thumb and undergoing surgery in late April, Frelick appeared to be on the cusp of a promotion to the big leagues. If he can quickly regain form once he's back with Nashville, Frelick may not have to wait long for his first MLB call-up.

Kevin Smith - Knocks fourth homer SundaySmith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Brewers on Sunday.
ImpactSmith joined the Athletics' offensive barrage in the seventh inning, leaving the yard via a 383-foot shot to left field for his fourth homer of the season. The shortstop had been mired in a 3-for-20 slump over the eight games prior to Sunday's, but manager Mark Kotsay appears committed to continuing to afford Smith near-everyday playing time for the moment.

Jackson Chourio - Getting going againChourio went 18-for-62 (.290) with three home runs, four doubles, 13 RBI, seven steals and a 4:14 BB:K over his last 15 games with Double-A Biloxi.
ImpactChourio had trouble making contact for much of May, but he picked up the pace at the end of the month, and thanks to his recent run his OPS is back up to .713. While there is room for growth in that department, Chourio is making noise on the basepaths, having already matched his 2022 total with 16 steals while being caught only twice.

Ryan Noda - On base four times SundayNoda went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, two walks and a run in a win over the Brewers on Sunday.
ImpactNoda made his contributions to the Athletics' fifth straight win via the small-ball route while three other teammates left the yard. The busy day on the basepaths was par for the course for Noda, who pushed his on-base percentage to an outstanding .410 with what was his fifth multi-hit effort in the last eight games.
