"The Dodgers announced Thursday left-handed reliever Alex Vesia was away from the team because of a "deeply personal family matter." Friday morning, the Dodgers released their World Series roster and Vesia was not included. As for whether the star reliever returns for a portion of the Fall Classic, manager Dave Roberts revealed the team does not expect Vesia to join the team."
"Roberts was also asked whether the Dodgers considered placing Vesia on the Family Medical Emergency List. "I think we exhausted a couple different options, but just considering obviously what he's going through and baseball's certainly on the backburner, so I just think that's the right process that we as an organization (thought) was probably the best way to handle it," Roberts said. "And to be quite honest, I don't know a lot of what went into it.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers open the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays without left-handed reliever Alex Vesia. Vesia was away from the team for a "deeply personal family matter" and was omitted from the Dodgers' World Series roster. Manager Dave Roberts indicated the team does not expect Vesia to rejoin during the Fall Classic unless unforeseen circumstances arise. The organization considered options including the Family Medical Emergency List but decided on a different course because of Vesia's situation and baseball being a lower priority. Roberts said the organization thought the chosen process was the best way to handle the matter and declined to provide details.
