"While speaking with reporters shortly after, manager Dave Roberts indicated the Dodgers weren't certain of Vesia's potential availability for the World Series. "I think right now, we're in the mode of trying to understand the process, the rules, a way that we could sort of try to navigate the roster," Roberts said. "Honestly, I think we're just going day-to-day with really no expectations.""
"My understanding is that Vesia is not being placed on the Family Medical Emergency List So he will be out for the duration of the World Series, barring a potential injury-replacement scenario https://t.co/OMntUuoLK4 - Jack Harris (@ByJackHarris) October 24, 2025 Going on MLB's Family Medical Emergency List requires a player to miss a minimum of three days and they can be away from the team for up to one week."
Alex Vesia is not included on the Dodgers' World Series roster and is away with his wife due to a deeply personal family matter. Manager Dave Roberts said the team is trying to understand the rules and potential roster navigation while taking a day-to-day approach with no expectations. The Dodgers considered using MLB's Family Medical Emergency List to preserve Vesia's eligibility but did not place him on it, making him likely unavailable for the entire Series unless added as an injury replacement. Edgardo Henriquez and Will Klein were added, and Ben Casparius was removed.
