The San Francisco Giants have optioned right-hander Sean Hjelle to Triple-A Sacramento, recalling right-hander Carson Seymour in a corresponding move. This follows serious allegations made by Hjelle's wife regarding abandonment and abuse, which have been circulating on social media. Hjelle has not publicly commented on the situation, stating he is in contact with appropriate parties for advice. Hjelle has struggled on the field, allowing four earned runs in a recent game, while Seymour has performed well in his minor league season, indicating a potential shift in the Giants' pitching strategy.
I don't have an official comment right now; I feel confident saying I will have one eventually. I would like to actually get with the people that are handling the situation with me.
We're aware of these serious allegations. We have been in contact with MLB. These type of allegations fall under their jurisdiction and we won't be commenting further.
I just want to talk to the appropriate people and figure out what the steps are, just kind of taking it in stride right now.
Seymour has posted a 3.89 ERA over 15 starts with 83 strikeouts over 74 innings with Sacramento this season.
