Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle responds to wife's ‘abuse' and ‘affairs' allegations
Sean Hjelle made his first public comments addressing abuse and infidelity allegations made against him by his wife, Caroline.
'I don't have an official comment right now,' Hjelle said following the team's 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. 'I would like to talk to my agent, my lawyer. This has been something that has been going on for over a year now in terms of our relationship, our divorce, our separation and everything. I don't have any official comment right now, I just want to talk to the appropriate people to figure out what the steps are. I'm just taking it in stride right now. No official comment right now.
'I feel confident saying that I will have one eventually. I don't have an exact timeline on that, but I would like to actually get with the people that are handling the situation with me and for me before I actually make an official statement.'

Caroline Hjelle claimed in her TikTok post on Saturday that her husband 'abandons us on Mother's Day … once I finally found about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I've been raising two boys alone.'
She held their two sons in the video.

On the mound this season, Hjelle is 1–1 with a 4.66 ERA across six appearances, including his first career major league start on June 8.

MLB's domestic violence policy grants the commissioner authority to impose administrative leave for up to seven days during investigations, even in the absence of criminal proceedings.
For now, Hjelle remains active, but further discipline could follow depending on MLB's findings.

Cards complete 3-game sweep of Guardians with 7-0 victory
CLEVELAND (AP) — Nolan Gorman belted a three-run homer, Victor Scott II had a two-run shot and Matthew Liberatore won his career-high third straight start and the St. Louis Cardinals rolled to a 7-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Gorman went deep in the first inning off Logan Allen (5-6), while Scott homered off Hunter Gaddis in the seventh to extend the Cardinals' lead to 5-0. Pedro Pagés and Garrett Hampson added RBIs in the eighth. St. Louis has won six straight on the road, its longest run under fourth-year manager Oliver Marmol. The Cardinals completed their initial series sweep of Cleveland by a 21-6 margin in the three-game set. Liberatore (6-6) tossed six innings, striking out five while allowing three hits and five walks. JoJo Romero, Riley O'Brien and John King wrapped up the combined three-hitter that included eight bases on balls. Allen gave up three runs in six innings for Cleveland, which went 1-5 on its homestand and fell two games below .500 for the first time since April 8. Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias was taken off the field on a cart after sustaining a left ankle sprain in the third, but X-rays of his lower leg were negative. He caught his left spikes on the grass while going into the hole to field a grounder by Masyn Winn. Key moment With two outs in the first and Winn and Willson Contreras aboard, Gorman hammered Allen's sweeper 428 feet into the right-center field stands. Key stat Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado singled in the third for his 1,900th hit and had his 400th double in the sixth. He was removed for 'cautionary reasons' in the eighth, according to the team. Up next Cardinals: RHP Erick Fedde (3-7, 4.11 ERA) starts the opener of a three-game series Monday in Pittsburgh. Guardians: RHP Gavin Williams (5-3, 3.68 ERA) pitches Tuesday to begin a three-game set at the Chicago Cubs. ___ AP MLB:
