Overview

  • Seymour recorded a 3.89 ERA with 83 strikeouts over 74 innings in 15 starts for Triple-A Sacramento’s River Cats.
  • San Francisco optioned Hjelle after he posted a 6.75 ERA in nine major-league outings and gave up four runs in one inning in his last appearance.
  • Hjelle’s demotion follows abuse allegations made by his wife that the team has forwarded to MLB for investigation.
  • The Giants’ bullpen, once among the majors’ best, posted a 5.84 ERA over its past six games, allowing at least one run in each outing.
  • Acquired from the Mets in the 2022 Darin Ruf trade, the 26-year-old Seymour is viewed as a long-relief option with potential to make spot starts.
