Giants reliever Sean Hjelle accused of abuse by wife, MLB investigating

San Francisco Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle, foreground, reacts after a home run by Boston Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela, bottom, during the sixth inning of a baseball game in San Francisco, Friday, June 20, 2025. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu) San Francisco Giants reliever Sean Hjelle has been accused of abuse by his wife, and MLB is now investigating the allegations, according to a statement the Giants put out Saturday. According to The Mercury News, Hjelle said Saturday that he doesn't have an official comment at the moment but that he'll eventually make a statement after speaking with his agent and lawyer. Advertisement Hjelle's wife, Caroline Hjelle, posted a TikTok on Friday of her with the couple's two children. The video's caption read, "When my MLB husband abandons us on Mother's 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." The Giants said in their statement Saturday that they are 'aware of these serious allegations' and have been in contact with MLB, which is looking into the situation. 'Obviously we're aware of it,' Giants manager Bob Melvin said before the Giants' 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox Saturday, via The Associated Press. '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." Advertisement Melvin also said before the game Saturday that Hjelle would be available to pitch. He didn't make an appearance, however. Hjelle, a 28-year-old righty, made his debut with the Giants in 2022. The organization drafted him in the second round in 2018. This season, Hjelle is 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA in six outings, the most recent of which took place Friday night in a 7-5 loss to the Red Sox. Hjelle was responsible for the defeat after allowing a tie-breaking home run to center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela in the sixth inning.

'No timeline' for DeWanna Bonner return. Can Indiana Fever sign a hardship player?

LAS VEGAS – As Indiana Fever forward DeWanna Bonner continues to be away from the team, coach Stephanie White says there's "no timeline" for her return. "She's doing well, she's doing well," White said Saturday. "Again, no timeline. I think it's day-to-day, and for us to make sure that we're continuing to be supportive of DB in her time away." Bonner, who signed with the Fever this offseason, has not been with the team since June 12 because of personal reasons. She has missed three games so far, including the June 14 win over New York, June 17 win over Connecticut and June 19 loss to Golden State. She is not with the Fever on their current West Coast road trip and is expected to miss her fourth game in a row when the Fever play the Aces in Las Vegas on Sunday. Bonner's absence puts the Fever down to 10 available players. Depending on how long Bonner is out, Indiana may drop down to nine available players when backup center Damiris Dantas leaves to play in the FIBA AmeriCup with the Brazilian National Team. Dantas will depart after the road trip finishes up in Seattle and will miss five games, including the Commissioner's Cup final, between June 26-July 8 as she plays in the tournament in Chile. The Fever may be able to sign an emergency hardship player if Bonner also remains out that long. The WNBA collective bargaining agreement allows the signing of an emergency hardship player "If a Team during the Regular Season, as a result of injuries, illnesses, other conditions or other extenuating circumstances that have affected its players, has fewer than ten (10) players on its roster who are able to play." (Article VII, section 4(b(i))) The Fever have already taken advantage of an emergency hardship exception this season, signing guard Aari McDonald when Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham were out for two weeks with injuries. McDonald is still available if the Fever need another hardship player, but Indiana would likely need a frontcourt player if both Bonner, who backs up the 4, and Dantas, who backs up the 5, are out at the same time.
