Hjelle has been out of action since Sunday. He will return to his regular role in the Giants’ bullpen.

The San Francisco Giants placed Sean Hjelle on the bereavement list.

Hjelle will be away from the team for a few days. Randy Rodriguez was recalled as the corresponding move.

Sean Hjelle is reportedly dealing with a right elbow sprain.

The Giants pitching depth continues to take a hit. After it was announced that Tristan Beck suffered an arm injury, Hjelle was thought to be the favorite for the No. 5 starter role. Logan Webb, Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks and Keaton Winn are currently the only healthy starters for the Giants.

Giants manager Bob Melvin mentioned Sean Hjelle as a potential candidate for the team's Opening Day rotation.

Tristan Beck was diagnosed with an aneurysm in his upper arm after he had been the favorite to be the No. 5 starter for the Giants. Hjelle is a candidate to be that final starter if the Giants don't sign Blake Snell or another starter off free agency.

San Francisco Giants reliever Sean Hjelle has been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.

Hjelle was sent down to make room for Darin Ruf on the active roster after he returned to the Giants on a minor-league deal Saturday. The 25-year-old struck out 10 over six innings but also surrendered six earned runs and four walks in that time. He worked to a 5.76 ERA in 25 innings with the Giants last season.
