San Francisco Giants reliever Sean Hjelle is facing serious allegations from his wife, Caroline, who accused him of infidelity, family abandonment, and abuse on a viral TikTok post. The team has released a statement acknowledging the accusations and stating they are in contact with Major League Baseball (MLB).
Hjelle did not comment to reporters before Saturday’s game against the Boston Red Sox. Giants manager Bob Melvin said Hjelle was available to pitch, but acknowledged he was aware of the allegations.
The couple is reportedly divorced, according to a Giants spokesperson. Caroline has been sharing her struggles as a solo parent on TikTok since October 2024. She claimed she was “devastated” after discovering Hjelle’s infidelity in April.
Hjelle played a significant role in the Giants’ bullpen last season, but his performance has declined this year with an ERA of 4.66 and increased walks per nine innings. The team remains one of the surprise contenders of 2025 with a 42-34 record.
