| Jun 27 2025 | The Giants optioned Hjelle to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hjelle was called up in early June to serve out of the bullpen and accumulated a 4.09 ERA and a 7:7 K:BB before yielding four runs in one inning Thursday against Miami. He'll cede his spot on the active roster to Carson Seymour. |

| Jun 15 2025 | Hjelle allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Facing a top-tier offense on short notice after the Giants traded Sunday's projected starter, Kyle Harrison, to the Red Sox just before game time, Hjelle put in a fine performance. He allowed a sacrifice fly to Andy Pages in the first inning and a solo home run to Tommy Edman in the second, but the Giants got him off the hook with three runs in the fourth. Over 7.2 innings this season, Hjelle has allowed four runs while adding a 6:5 K:BB. This was his longest outing in the majors this season at 54 pitches (33 strikes), so it's unclear if he'll be stretched out as a starter -- he hasn't filled that role in the minors since 2023, instead functioning as a multi-inning reliever. Assuming Justin Verlander (pectoral) is good to go in the coming week, there may not be an opening in the Giants' rotation anyway. |

| Jun 5 2025 | Hjelle (1-0) earned the win in Wednesday's 6-5 victory over San Diego, allowing one walk and striking out one in 2.2 scoreless innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday after Jordan Hicks (toe) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Hjelle threw 18 of his 28 pitches for strikes and retired seven straight batters after allowing a walk. The right-hander had posted a 2.97 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 32:10 K:BB across 30.1 innings in 18 appearances with Sacramento before being recalled. |

| Jun 3 2025 | The Giants recalled Hjelle from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hjelle has been in the minor leagues all season, turning in a 2.97 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through 30.1 innings at Triple-A. With Jordan Hicks (toe) moving to the injured list, Hjelle will get another look with the Giants and figures to work in middle relief. |
