Career
Uribe signed with the Milwaukee Brewers as an international free agent on July 2, 2018. He made his professional debut that season with the Dominican Summer League Brewers. He played 2019 with the Arizona League Brewers and the Rocky Mountain Vibes.

Uribe did not in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He returned in 2021 to pitch for the Carolina Mudcats and after the season played in the Arizona Fall League. Uribe pitched in only two games in 2022 for the Biloxi Shuckers due to a torn meniscus in his right knee. He played in the Arizona Fall League for the second consecutive year after the season. On November 15, 2022, the Brewers added Uribe to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.

Uribe was optioned to Double-A Biloxi to begin the 2023 season. In 22 games split between Biloxi and the Triple–A Nashville Sounds, he accumulated a 1.96 ERA with 41 strikeouts and 7 saves in 23.0 innings pitched. On July 8, 2023, Uribe was promoted to the major leagues for the first time. In 32 relief outings during his rookie campaign, Uribe compiled a 1.76 ERA with 39 strikeouts across $30 2⁄3$ innings pitched.

In a game against the Tampa Bay Rays on April 30, 2024, Uribe was involved in an altercation with Rays outfielder Jose Siri. In a contentious game which manager Pat Murphy and teammate Freddy Peralta had already been ejected from, an otherwise routine ground ball play at first led to Uribe and Siri exchanging words. The situation became suddenly chaotic when Uribe threw a punch at Siri, igniting a benches-clearing brawl. Both Uribe and Siri were ejected for their parts in the brawl. Uribe received a six game suspension. In 14 appearances in 2024, he struggled to a 6.91 ERA with 3 saves and 14 strikeouts. On July 18, Uribe announced that he had undergone season–ending knee surgery.
