SF Giants option Hjelle to Triple-A, recall Carson Seymour from Sacramento

The Giants disclosed on Friday morning that they have optioned right-hander Sean Hjelle to Triple-A Sacramento and recalled right-hander Carson Seymour in a corresponding move Last week Hjelle s wife Caroline made accusations of abandonment and abuse towards Hjelle in a video on TikTok that has since been deleted I don t have an official comment right now Hjelle informed reporters last week I like to in fact talk with my agent my lawyer This has been something that s been going on for over a year now in terms of our relationship and our divorce and our separation and everything But I don t have any official comment right now I just want to talk to the appropriate people and figure out what the efforts are just kind of taking it in stride right now No official comment right now I feel confident saying I will have one eventually I don t have an exact timeline on that I would like to veritably get with the people that are handling the situation with me and for me before I genuinely make an official comment Hjelle appeared in three games following the charges On Sunday Hjelle allowed four earned runs in one inning of relief as the Giants were swept by the Miami Marlins Prior to the statements Hjelle made a last-minute start for the Giants when Kyle Harrison was sent to the Boston Red Sox less than an hour before first pitch as part of the Rafael Devers exchange We are aware of these serious charges the Giants noted in a declaration last week We have been in contact with MLB These type of accusations fall under their jurisdiction and we won t be commenting further Seymour was acquired from the Mets in as part of the transaction that sent Darin Ruf to the New York Mets He s the first of the Giants trio of Carsons to arrive in the majors the other two being top pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt and right-hander Carson Ragsdale This season Seymour has posted a ERA over starts with strikeouts over innings with Sacramento in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League Seymour will likely take Hjelle s place as a low-leverage reliever who can provide multiple innings but the Giants view Seymour as a take With San Francisco s starter depth taking a hit as a product of the Devers arrangement it s viable that Seymour makes a spot start or two sometime this season
