San Francisco Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle has responded after his estranged wife, Caroline Hjelle, accused him of abuse and abandoning his family.<\/p>\n

In a since-deleted video posted via TikTok on Friday, June 20, Caroline shared footage of the couple\u2019s two sons, George, 5, and Emmett, 3, with a caption reading: \u201cWhen my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers Day a week after (this video was taken) once I finally found out about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I\u2019ve been raising two boys alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video was accompanied with a series of hashtags, including #divorce, #cheating and #infidelity.<\/p>\n

Caroline filed for divorce over a year ago, though the divorce is not yet finalized, according to The Athletic<\/a>. The couple got married in March 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sean, 28, addressed the allegations made by Caroline after the Giants\u2019 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, June 21.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have an official comment right now,\u201d Sean told reporters. \u201cI would like to actually talk with my agent, my lawyer. This has been something that\u2019s been going on for over a year now in terms of our relationship and our divorce and our separation and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI just want to talk to the appropriate people and figure out what the steps are. Just kind of taking it in stride right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Sean neglected to give any official statement, he said he felt \u201cconfident\u201d he would \u201chave one eventually.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t 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,\u201d Sean said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The matter was forwarded to MLB to be handled under the league\u2019s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy, according to The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Giants manager Bob Melvin also addressed the allegations made against Sean on Saturday morning, saying he remains available to pitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we\u2019re aware of it,\u201d Melvin, 63, said. \u201cHe told me about it last night. We\u2019ve talked to MLB, and at this point, it\u2019s in their jurisdiction so we can\u2019t comment on it any further.\u201d<\/p>\n
