Sean Hjelle, the San Francisco Giants pitcher, is under investigation by Major League Baseball due to serious allegations made by his wife, Caroline Hjelle, through a TikTok video. The allegations include claims of abandonment and abuse, shared publicly on Mother's Day. The Giants organization acknowledged the situation, stating that MLB is managing the investigation. Despite the allegations, Hjelle was available to pitch against the Boston Red Sox, although he did not play in the game.

In response to the accusations, Hjelle explained that he and Caroline have been in the process of divorce for over a year, with a mediation agreement reached in the offseason. He mentioned that the delay in finalizing the divorce was due to their separation period requirements in Virginia. Hjelle has a current 4.66 ERA in six appearances this season, marking his fourth year in the majors.
