Overview

  • Last week, Hjelle’s wife published and later deleted a TikTok video alleging abandonment and abuse.
  • The Giants issued a statement acknowledging the serious claims and have referred the matter to Major League Baseball.
  • Hjelle struggled in three outings after the allegations, including allowing four earned runs in one inning during a series loss to the Marlins.
  • Carson Seymour, 26, was acquired from the Mets in 2022 as part of the trade that sent Darin Ruf to New York.
  • This season in Triple-A Sacramento, Seymour has a 3.89 ERA with 83 strikeouts over 74 innings and is projected to serve as a low-leverage, multi-inning reliever.
