Overview
- Los Angeles finalized its World Series roster without the left-handed reliever as he and his wife address a deeply personal family matter, per the team's statement.
- President Andrew Friedman said Vesia was not placed on the family medical emergency list, which carries a three-to-seven day window, to keep the focus on his family.
- Manager Dave Roberts indicated Vesia is expected to miss the series unless circumstances change, calling his status day-to-day with no expectations.
- The Dodgers added right-handers Edgardo Henriquez and Will Klein to bolster bullpen depth, and Vesia can now only be added as an injury replacement under postseason rules.
- Vesia was a trusted late-inning option this year (68 games, 3.02 ERA) and has appeared seven times this postseason; multiple outlets have reported he and his wife have been expecting their first child.
