"The Dodgers announced Thursday that reliever Alex Vesia is away from the team as he and his wife "navigate a deeply personal family matter," and manager Dave Roberts said his availability for the World Series is uncertain. Vesia, who has been the Dodgers' top left-handed pitcher in the bullpen this season, was not present at the team's World Series media session on Thursday, and was not seen at the club's open workout at Dodger Stadium on Monday."
""We have a little bit of time - I think 10 o'clock tomorrow or something like that - to finalize our roster," Roberts said. "But, yeah, we're going through the process of trying to backfill his spot on the roster." One potential option for the Dodgers would be to place Vesia on MLB's Family Medical Emergency List, which would require him to miss a minimum of three days but make it possible for him to rejoin the active roster later in the World Series."

One option is placing Vesia on MLB's Family Medical Emergency List, which requires a minimum three-day absence but could allow a later return. The organization sent thoughts to the Vesia family.
