Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle accused of abuse by wife: 'I finally found about his affairs'
SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants said Major League Baseball is looking into allegations of abuse made by the wife of reliever Sean Hjelle.
Caroline Hjelle made a post on TikTok on Friday of her with the couple's two children with a caption that said: 'When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers Day a week after this (video was taken) once I finally found about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I've been raising two boys alone.'

'I feel confident in saying that I will have one eventually,' he said. 'I don't have an exact timeline on that. But I would like to actually meet with the people that are handling the situation with me and for me before I actually make an official statement.'
The Giants said in a statement Saturday that they are 'aware of these serious allegations' and that MLB is handling it.
Manager Bob Melvin said before Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox that Hjelle would be available to pitch.
'Obviously we're aware of it,' Melvin said. 'He told me about it last night. We talked to MLB. At this point, it's in their jurisdiction right now so I really can't comment on it further.'
Hjelle took the loss in Friday night's game against the Red Sox, allowing a tiebreaking homer to Ceddanne Rafaela in the sixth inning.
Hjelle is 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA in six appearances this season.

Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. shares his top spots in Toronto
All-star slugger posted his favourite places to eat and shop in the city on his Instagram page. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays gets doused during his post-game interview after their game against the San Francisco Giants at Rogers Centre on July 20. Getty Images Considering that Major League Baseball players play a whopping 162 games per season and are on the road for half of them, you would think that they might not have all that much time to actually explore the cities they live in. But considering that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has called Toronto home since 2019 and signed a massive 14-year contract extension earlier this year, the slugger surely must love the city and its many local flavours. In fact, the all-star first baseman shared some of his top spots in Toronto during the team's day off on Thursday, showcasing some favourites around the 6ix. 'Toronto is a city that I consider to be my second home. The energy, you feel it everywhere, that's what I like about being here in Toronto,' he said in the clip.
