Overview
- In a joint Instagram post, Alex and Kayla Vesia said their daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, died on Oct. 26 and shared thanks for widespread condolences.
- The couple did not disclose additional details about the circumstances and expressed gratitude to caregivers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
- Before the World Series, the Dodgers said Vesia was away for a “deeply personal family matter” and kept him off both the roster and the family medical emergency list to avoid any pressure to return.
- Dodgers relievers wrote Vesia’s No. 51 on their caps during the Series, and Blue Jays relievers joined the tribute in later games.
- With Vesia unavailable, Los Angeles added right-handers Edgardo Henriquez and Will Klein to the World Series roster, and Klein made multiple appearances.
