"The night before the Los Angeles Dodgers began their 2025 World Series matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays, the team announced Alex Vesia had taken time to be with his wife, Kayla, as they "navigate a deeply personal family matter.""
""This is so much bigger than baseball. For us, it was doing whatever small part we could to just a hundred percent be supportive," Friedman said."
""I would like to let them speak about that when they want to, but just keeping them in our thoughts and our prayers," Will Klein said after the Dodgers won Game 7. "There's bigger things than baseball, and he's in all of our hearts.""
Alex Vesia was absent from the Los Angeles Dodgers' 2025 World Series roster after taking time away to be with his wife following the loss of their daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, on Oct. 26. Vesia was not placed on MLB's Family Medical Emergency List or bereavement and remained ineligible to appear. The Dodgers prioritized his well-being and avoided pressuring him to return, with leadership emphasizing support. Teammates and opponents honored Vesia by wearing his No. 51 on their caps. The Dodgers later exercised Vesia's $3.65 million team option for the 2026 season.
