The San Francisco Giants have begun to actively manage their roster after a quiet start to the season, notably recalling reliever Sean Hjelle from AAA Sacramento. This move comes as Jordan Hicks lands on the 15-Day Injured List due to toe inflammation. Hjelle, a second-round pick in 2019, has excelled in AAA, boasting a 2.97 ERA. Meanwhile, Hicks's performance has been declining, prompting the need for his rehab. Trent Harris has been promoted to fill Hjelle's spot in AAA, showcasing his own impressive stats this season.
It's an opportunity Hjelle has been waiting for... he was surprisingly optioned in Spring Training. He pitched quite well for AAA Sacramento, but had to watch from the sidelines.
Hjelle, the team's second-round pick in 2019, has been very strong for the River Cats this season, appearing in 18 games and sporting a 2.97 ERA with a 2.75 FIP.
Hicks, on the other hand, has been struggling for a while... His IL stint is retroactive to Monday, and hopefully he'll get some rehab time in Sacramento.
Replacing Hjelle in Sacramento is right-hander Trent Harris, an extremely exciting reliever... has given up runs in just one of his 13 appearances this year.
