"Vesia has been one of L.A.'s most trusted relievers for the past five seasons, pitching to a 2.68 ERA and a 3.16 SIERA in 270 innings since 2021. Only two pitchers have thrown more innings in relief with a lower ERA in that time: Emmanuel Clase and Raisel Iglesias. Vesia's brief trip to the injured list earlier this year with an oblique strain was the first of his Dodgers tenure, and his stuff looked every bit as nasty upon his return."
"manager Dave Roberts said Vesia would "most likely" not pitch in the World Series. Of course, having been left off the roster, the southpaw would have only been available as an injury replacement in any case. President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman explained that the team chose not to place Vesia on the family emergency list, which could have allowed him to come back sooner,"
Caleb Vesia was left off the Dodgers' World Series roster while he and his wife handle a deeply personal family matter, and he is most likely not to pitch. The team declined to place him on the family emergency list to avoid pressuring him to return quickly. Vesia has been one of L.A.'s most reliable relievers since 2021, posting a 2.68 ERA and 3.16 SIERA across 270 innings and delivering multiple scoreless postseason appearances. Tanner Scott was also omitted from the roster for medical reasons after subpar throwing sessions, and his exclusion is considered a health-based decision.
